One of the main contributors to railway safety is the learning that flows from near misses and accidents. The generic name for this is Learning from Operational Experience, or LOE.
In support of LOE, RSSB provides many outputs, including periodic safety overviews, RSSB Strategic Board papers on specific risk areas, case studies including learning from other sectors and an annual summary.
Accident Investigation and Learning Topics
Learning from Other Sectors
RSSB has prepared an analysis of incidents in other sectors and identified learning points for the rail sector.
As the railway continues to develop and embed digital technologies, it becomes increasingly important to report and understand near misses and accidents with a digital component.
We provide analyses of some of the world’s biggest rail accidents to extract lessons and provide food for thought. These digests offer insight as to the implications for GB rail operations.
