Join our FREE webinar and gain valuable insights into human factors affecting rail safety. Discover the root causes behind these mistakes and explore successful projects implemented by RSSB experts to prevent them.
The cause of accidents and incidents is often attributed to human error. However, people rarely make such mistakes on purpose.
The Rail Safety and Standards Board is the independent safety, standards, and research body for Great Britain’s rail network. We work across Britain’s evolving railway to improve safety, efficiency, and sustainability.
Our human factors specialists have supported the UK and international rail industry over the past 20 years by contributing to research, Railway Group Standards, and systems like the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS), to understand why accidents occur and how to prevent them in the future.
Their expertise has been complemented with knowledge gained from other safety critical industries such as road, aviation, and oil and gas, to not just help rail organisations directly, but regularly deliver sold-out human factors and non-technical skills related training courses to improve safety performance.
Led by renowned human factors experts Ann Mills, Deputy Director System Safety & Health, LHSBR Delivery, and Paul Leach, Head of Human Factors, our webinar in association with Global Railway Review will help support organisations in identifying and understanding how human and organisational factors affect rail safety performance.
If you are involved in human and organisational factors, then this is a must-attend webinar. We look forward to meeting old and new industry colleagues on 15th May 2024.
