RSSB Podcast: The front line

Learning from… previous experience is vital. But unless we keep and communicate what we learn, the memory is lost. As Right Track magazine celebrates its 10th anniversary, we look at why and what it delivers for those who work at the front line on the railway.

This episode, first published in the At the Front Line stream, looks at the work of the Network Rail Safety Task Force to reduce open line working and the risks associated with it.

This episode looks at RSSB's research into lone working. It includes the guidance that has been developed to help managers, employers, and lone workers themselves, to achieve better outcomes for health, safety and wellbeing.

Catherine Baker, director of the Confidential Incident Reporting and Analysis Service (CIRAS), talks about how the confidential reporting service works.  She discusses the types of incidents and reasons for calls, and examples of the results that CIRAS achieves.
