Implement and maintain a rail safety culture

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to implement and maintain a rail safety culture within a rail organisation in accordance with organisational safety management system.

People achieving competence in this unit must be able to assess compliance with safety culture requirements and confirm that organisational policies and practices are consistent with principles that support the development of a positive safety culture.

Applying this unit in the workplace will involve promoting the benefits of developing a positive safety culture such as:

awareness and recognition of safety improvement opportunities

encouraging open communication

executive safety role of line management

importance of leadership and commitment of senior management

positively addressing human factors

involving rail safety workers at all levels

promoting a just culture and environment

willingness to devote resources to safety.

A just culture and environment are based on occurrence investigation, which acknowledges human error and encourages honest reporting of errors while establishing clear accountability for errors.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
