A paper which discusses three topics emerging from recent work on international rail safety management. The three areas are: structuring of risk data using relational methods; risk tolerability; improvements in the management of transient and third party risks. Each topic is illustrated by examples provided by MTR Corporation the operator of railway services in Hong Kong, China, London, Stockholm and Melbourne.
A paper which describes the UIC safety platform which is a forum for sharing information and experience. The safety platform pursues activities in five core areas: safety management systems, safety performance data base; human factors/safety culture, occupational health and safety and international rail safety network. The paper also describes work being carried out on safety at level crossings and the rail/road interface.

This paper describes several principles that could transform the future of competence management and assist in meeting the emerging challenges in developing and maintaining skills in an increasingly automated industry. With advances in technology and system reliability, it becomes more difficult to predict the types of system failures that operators may need to deal with. Rather than simply training for known, predictable failures or events, we must focus on building underlying competence, to equip safety-critical workers with the skills to deal with any situations they may face. Lessons can be drawn from other industries, including aviation, where the introduction of highly automated systems has led to similar human performance challenges.
