A good safety culture within an organisation is a pre-cursor to delivering effective performance in health and safety. Establishing such a culture is not a matter of luck but of detailed planning, coordinated action and ïbuy in’ by senior management. This paper defines what is meant by culture and why it is important. It outlines a number of external and internal drivers that need to be present when developing a safety culture. It explains the importance of leadership in embedding a safety culture and it explores the importance of risk to an organisation when considering safety culture.

This paper outlines how the East Japan Railway Company (JR East) has worked to achieve safety and peace of mind for passengers at stations, especially on platforms. As part of the safety measures for platforms, platform screen doors have been installed at all stations along the Yamanote Line. In addition, Braille blocks with lines indicating the inward side of the platform at stations have been installed. Furthermore, several campaigns have been conducted to raise customers’ awareness of safety; for example, some campaign titles were “Don’t use a smartphone while walking” and “Let’s eliminate platform accidents.”

From November 2005 to December 2012, an average of 6 trains per year departed with their doors open for the regional express railway lines exploited by the RATP in Paris. Aside from these general figures, the statistics do little to explain such incidents. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out a qualitative study in order to better understand this phenomenon.

This paper addresses the challenges facing rail operators and their workforce when recruiting, retaining, training and promoting ageing employees. The number of older employees is resulting in a shift in workforce demographics. Some of the implications include age sensitive risk assessments, medical surveillance, adapting the workplace environment, review of the health and safety procedures to address challenges in the railway operations. The ageing workforce is a reality and without proper planning and revision of safety related policies, companies could face litigation on discrimination, exclusion and safety related violations from employees.
