Implementing SLSI-provided Opportunities Supports Safety Culture Growth on Railroads
This study reviewed safety culture improvements across all 10 Core Elements of Safety Culture on twenty railroads, using the initial Safety Culture Assessment result, and the Times 2 Assessment result conducted by the Short Line Safety Institute. Results show that railroads were able to implement 60% of all Opportunities for Improvement recommended, and all twenty railroads experienced measurable safety culture growth across all 10 Core Elements. The study supports the hypothesis that implementation of recommendations from the SLSI results in strengthened safety culture outcomes.
