Course overview
This course focuses on the basic elements of risk analysis, accident investigation and safety management for the railways. The course starts off with a discussion of the foundational issues in safety and risk management and supplements it with basic risk analysis techniques for the railways, allowing learners to gain a deepened understanding of the mechanics of safety and risk management.
A significant amount of time is dedicated to accident investigations and accident reports because they provide key insights into the problems, solutions and management of safety. The delivery of safety is treated through railway safety regulations and management. Finally, the course discusses the keystone of successful implementation through safety management systems for the railways.
By the end of this course, you will:
• Relate practical safety barriers, findings in reports and risk analysis to abstract safety management frameworks
• Evaluate and perform basic risk analysis for the UK rail network
• Extract key points from safety reports and accident investigation reports
• Gain insight into the mechanics of safety delivery on the railways
