Identifying the tools light rail operators can use to further develop their ‘Just Culture’ proved the key focus of the latest UKTram Operations Group. During a recent meeting in Manchester, representatives from networks across the UK and Ireland took part in a special best practice session on the concept of shared accountability. Led by Dr Peter Hughes of Redcliff Solutions Ltd, it outlined how a just culture encourages organisations to be accountable for systems they have in place and to fairly respond to the behaviours of their employers. Steve Duckering, our Tram Operations Manager, explained: “The session provided a fascinating insight into approaches used to drive safety improvements across an organisation.'' “Following an incident, a just culture asks, ‘what went wrong?’ rather than ‘who caused the problem? This allows for individual accountability and encourages employees to be open about potential risks rather than hiding mistakes.''

Co-Founder & MD at Safe365. International award winning Safety, Well-being and Risk Product (SaaS/PaaS)
Extremely excited to be starting with West Midlands Rail in January with Jamie Ainsworth MRAeS Tech IOSH and his team. All part of a safety culture proof of concept programme of work. We were fortunate enough to have Jamie exposed to the Heathrow safety culture work while at Virgin and he immediately saw the application of that model and tech to rail. Great to see such awesome thought leadership in this sector to complement the work being done in other sectors like airports, health, sport, FMCG and several other sectors coming on board…. All wanting to understand their safety culture, use data and insight, benchmark against each other and work collaboratively to bring about systemic change for the sector as a whole. We know from our work in other sectors this will be a game changer for rail with the ability to measure safety culture against best practice, monitor continuous improvement and sustainability while using leading and lag data to provide the organisation and C Suite with the assurance they need to understand that they are tracking in the right direction and measuring ROI of their safety investment spend relative to safety and business performance. Like with other sectors within 12 to 24 months we will again be able to prove the hypothesis that increasing safety culture has a demonstrable impact on workplace harm and improvement in business performance. Turning safety language into business language and potentially creating a ‘Rail Safety Culture’ dashboard in the same way we have done for airports. Can’t wait to January Jamie. It will be such a awesome and innovative solution to bring to rail. The sort of stuff the Safe365 team love being apart of… having a positive impact on reducing harm in the workplace while bringing to life new ways of understanding safety culture, data and insights.

🚂 Exploring Diversity and Inclusion in Rail Operations 🌍 In our ongoing journey to cultivate a more inclusive and diverse rail industry, let's engage in a thought-provoking discussion. Each conversation we have broadens our perspective and deepens our commitment to progress. Today we focus on: 🔹"The Role of Inclusive Practices in Enhancing Rail Operations and Customer Experience" Inclusive practices go beyond mere awareness; they are about actively implementing strategies that embrace diversity at all levels of our operations. How do we ensure that our services cater to and respect the varied needs of a diverse clientele? What measures can we take to make our workplaces more inclusive for employees from all backgrounds? Consider these points for discussion: - Strategies for creating a more inclusive environment for both employees and passengers. - The influence of inclusive practices on workplace culture and customer satisfaction. - Training staff in not only technical skills but also in understanding and valuing diversity. - Successful examples from within the industry where inclusivity has led to improved operations. I invite everyone to share their experiences, suggestions, and success stories. Your input is crucial in shaping a rail industry that is not only operationally excellent but also rich in diversity and inclusivity. Join the conversation and let's pave the way together. #DiversityInRail #InclusivePractices #RailIndustry #EthnicityAndRaceInRail
