This paper presents the work that Arthur D. Little completed to develop a new safety risk model for a major utilities sector client. The risks in question are low probability, high consequence risks, arising from safety critical lone workers leaving unsafe conditions in their work. This new model depends on using multiple disparate data sources effectively to provide indicators of employees potentially at risk of leaving these unsafe conditions. The model takes diverse performance measures to contribute to a reliable risk metric that informs management decision making in both the operational and safety assurance functions.

Human factors as a discipline has a key focus on human performance and the influence that organisational systems have on that human performance. A human factors approach is key to understanding railway incidents, which are dominated by operational human performance issues and underlying causes related to safety management systems. This paper considers some of the multifaceted ways in which the human factors discipline has supported incident investigation methods and strategies in the GB rail context.

Fundamental when we consider railway safety is to recognize a human characteristic such that human makes mistakes. There are 4 characteristics of human errors. First, there is not ยerror modeย in the human brain. Second, a result of doing the best became an error. Third, punishment is not effective to prevent reoccurrence. Fourth, it is the most important to investigate background causes. It is impossible to get rid of human errors which are results of human activities. It is important to consider safe railway operations by facing human errors which are our fate and thinking how to prevent accidents.
This paper describes the JR East safety measures at level crossings. JR East is working on the elimination of level crossings with the introduction of grade separated crossings, thereby integrating and reducing the number of level crossings.
