Spotlight on Safety
Learning from the past to apply to the present and future
Safety is complex and an area of critical focus for all industry leaders. In our Spotlight on Safety videos we provide focus on the most prominent safety issues revealed by detailed data analysis and signpost to resources to prioritise your work in the coming months.
In the latest episode, published in April, RSSB’s CEO, Mark Phillips, interviews colleagues Jemma Widdows and Hannah Chan on the value of corporate memory, learning from the past, and applying these lessons for the future.
Learning from our mistakes is central to managing rail. Over the years, the way we manage safety has improved, but we could do more. By knowing our staff and the knowledge they have, and capturing and turning this into insight, we can create benefits for the whole industry.
We also discuss future changes and how insights from the challenges faced during the Covid-19 pandemic can help us going forward. RSSB’s research programme and its Futures Lab will be part of that looking ahead. Watch the video to find out more and get answers to the following questions:
What role does learning from our mistakes have for the industry?
Why are periods of transition a concern for safety and how can long-term employees help?
