Accident Investigation and Learning

    Introduction

    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.
