When launching new railway projects, there's often a drive to start fresh with the mindset of "we can do it better." However, we advise those involved in the early stages to take time to learn from past projects. More often than not, the next station, electrification, or signalling project won’t be the first of its kind on the railway.

From a systems assurance perspective, there are significant advantages to reviewing past system safety submissions and hazard records. By analysing risk assessments previously accepted by independent Assessment Bodies and System Review Panels (SRP), you can save both time and costs for new submissions.

At HSRS, we've collaborated with Infrastructure Managers, Local Authorities, Equipment Manufacturers, and professional services organisations to help prevent projects from "starting from scratch." We utilise industry best practices and data to tailor risk management activities specific to your project needs.
