Short Line Safety Institute completes pilot phase on rail safety
The pilot phase conducted six assessments concerning safety culture and provided ongoing work to education, training and research services for short line and regional railroads.
The Short Line Safety Institute (SLSI), Washington, D.C., completed the pilot phase of its work to assess and address safety culture gaps in the short line and regional rail industry.
The pilot phase conducted six assessments concerning safety culture and provided ongoing work to education, training and research services for short line and regional railroads.
“The SLSI has completed a significant milestone,” says Ron Hynes, executive director. “We now have a tried and tested, comprehensive program for evaluating and offering guidance to short lines on safety culture on their railroads. Results generated from the pilot program provided a road map for progress, and our team now has a solid understanding of the path forward.”
