The Development of Human Factors in Rail

Twenty-five years on from Ladbroke Grove, the understanding and application of ergonomics and human factors is still a prerequisite to continuous improvement in safety and performance. This webinar discusses the development of human factors in rail and the benefit this brings, the risks we face if we forget the human factors lessons we have learnt, and how human factors continues to improve safety and performance.

Passenger Operations – Preventing and Responding to Customer Accidents

All passenger journeys involve travelling on a train and passing through a station. Although the majority are completed safely and without incident, passengers are still exposed to various risks that can result in severe injury. It is important to set up mitigations to reduce the number of accidents on the rail network and apply a collaborative approach to share good practice and instil confidence in our patronage. View this webinar, which explores how the rail industry is advancing safety measures to prevent and respond to passenger accidents, the development of the platform-train interface strategy, the latest data on passenger injuries, emerging risks to passengers, and much more.

The RSSB PTI Risk Assessment Tool

Watch this webinar to find out how RSSB’s Platform-Train Interface Risk Assessment Tool (PTI RAT) can be applied to solve your PTI risk assessment problems. The user-friendly, web-based tool, which is free for RSSB members, provides a validated approach for assessing PTI risk aligned with the associated rail industry standard. It enables users to review and risk-rank PTI safety arrangements using customisable criteria. Users can also explore mitigations, upload supporting documents, and track recommendations, all in one place. This webinar cover what constitutes a suitable and sufficient PTI, success stories from current PTI RAT users, and the benefits of using the PTI RAT in your organisation.

Passed at Danger – The SPAD Situation Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

The Ladbroke Grove accident of 1999 was a key accident in our history. It led to improvements in the way we tackle SPADs and sped up the development of the Train Protection and Warning System. As a result, SPAD risk came down, but SPADs remain an issue for GB rail. In this webinar, we will describe the accident, what happened, and what came next. We will also cover the current picture of SPAD risk, how this is tackled by the industry today, and how it might tackle it tomorrow.
