SELECTED ASPECTS OF SAFETY MANAGEMENT IN RAIL TRANSPORT

Summary/Abstract: Rail transport safety management requires a comprehensive approach that includes legal regulations, advanced technologies, staff training and constant monitoring of the number and structure of accidents, incidents and events. The aim of the study isto show the scope of rail transport safety management. The analysis was carried out based on data from the Office of Rail Transport and the Central Statistical Office. The study analyzed the number and structure of rail accidents as well as the causes of accidents, incidents and rail events. The analysis covered the years 2017-2022. The analysis showed that the accident measure, which is the ratio of the number of accidents to the size of operational work, decreased from 2.56 to 1.89 in the years 2017-2022. At the same time, in the same period, the number of incidents increased from 1256 to 1642. The statistical analysis also showed that there is a significant positive correlation between the number of rail incidents and events and operational work in rail passenger transport. Investing in research and development of new technologies and solutions that improve safety is key to the continuous improvementof safety management. New technologies, such as artificial intelligence and data analysis, can significantly improve the ability to predict and respond to threats. Those responsible for the organization and operation of rail transport should strive to continuouslyimprove safety management systems.
