A confidential hotline to capture close calls (near misses) and safety events was created as part of a safety culture improvement initiative in a large North American railway company. A traditional root cause analysis method was utilized to understand the close calls reported, but it found that this approach did not encompass all potentially relevant factors or perspectives. As a result of the need for further information from the close calls analysis, a new methodology was developed. The methodology for analyzing the safety events is called the “learning tree” – a structured process that facilitates collaboration between employees and management.

Water-related risk management is a multidisciplinary issue for railway systems. Risk diagnoses are crucial steps in risk management from infrastructure design to railway operation, monitoring and maintenance. Risk diagnoses are performed by crossing hazard exposure and vulnerability assessment, considering train traffic safety and regularity. Diagnoses aim at identifying sections at risk, prioritizing actions and recommending specific works. Intense surface runoff can cause major damage when impacting vulnerable railway sections, such as infrastructure flooding, ballast transport, embankment slope failure, erosion, or hydraulic structures clogging. For risk diagnoses, surface runoff hazard assessment suffers from a lack of dedicated method.

This article deals with the gains on safety and availability of rail systems for an integrated company. The RATP gathers railway operating, maintenance and engineering activities. To maximize the benefit it can take part of this situation, the RATP adopted an integrated engineering. In a first part, this article describes the organisation of the RATP as an integrated company, then it presents the advantages of this organisation on availability and safety in the project life cycle, and finally it presents the rolling stock example in the middle of the integrated engineering interfaces and the benefits provided by the integrated company.
