Ensuring a safe and reliable service
Operations is one of the five key risk areas that the Rail Health and Safety Strategy (the Strategy), it includes train operations and passenger operations.
Introduction
While the rates and risks of signal passed at danger (SPAD) have decreased, investigating and sharing their causes is still difficult. Additionally, human performance has reached its limit in reducing SPAD risk.
By working together, leveraging high-quality data, and implementing a robust train protection strategy, we can significantly reduce risks associated with train operations.
The Strategy aims for industry to keep ‘ensuring a safe and reliable service’. The strategic initiatives to address this critical risk area are listed below.
-
