RSSB Podcast Series

A broad range of topics covering many aspects of our railway. About the health, wellbeing and safety of those who work on it. And the innovations that will make it an even safer, more reliable, and more sustainable mode of transport. One that delivers value for society as a whole.

RSSB podcasts on subjects that are of general interest and more relevant to those on the front line, who deliver a better, safer railway for Britain. Topics such as technology for a better customer experience, health and wellbeing, and workforce safety.

This series addresses recommendations from RAIB in its report on the Cambrian Line Incident: particularly that we must get better at reporting and recording when software goes wrong. Our excellent safety record is based on knowing what went wrong and planning for it not to happen again. Only if you report software failures will we be able to prevent future software-based incidents.

Trespass viewed from both sides of the fence. The impacts it can have on those directly involved, how to assess both trespass risk and mitigation, and the ORR view of what constitutes 'reasonably practicable' prevention measures.

Between 2009 and 2019 half of our workforce fatalities were the result of road driving accidents. This series looks at what we can do to better manage road driving risk. The results should be fewer accidents, fewer fatalities and injuries, reduced costs, and lower environmental impact. Our collaboration with the Driving for Better Business programme delivers knowledge and tools to help reduce road driving risk.
