This is the third report that the Agency has published on the development of railway safety in Europe. The editing was fi nished only

a few weeks after the train collision in Buizingen near Halle in Belgium on 15 February 2010. As a matter of fact, we have had two

major serious accidents in Europe in less than a year — in Viareggio in June 2009 and the recent one in Buizingen. Around 50 people

have been killed in the two accidents and numerous persons have been seriously injured. This reminds us that rail transport is a risky

activity and that all possible diligence must be exercised to try to avoid accidents like these. The investigation reports are still not

available and it would be premature to draw conclusions on the causes of the accidents.

Experience shows that catastrophes, like the Viareggio and Buizingen accidents, never have a single and simple cause. There is

always a complex chain of events and defi ciencies that lead to these kinds of accidents. Causes can almost always be traced back

to managerial, organisational and human interface factors. A catastrophe is an accident of the organisation. In addition, there

are always precursors that, correctly interpreted, should have rung the alarm bell to the management, if it takes care to properly

manage safety.

The Railway Safety Directive (2004/49/EC) requires railway undertakings and infrastructure managers to implement a safety

management system — actually a pre-condition to obtain a certifi cate to operate. The key element of such a safety management

system is always the commitment from top management, in particular the CEO. He or she must understand that responsibility for

managing safety remains at the top level of the company and that it cannot be passed on to operational staff or contractors. If this

commitment does not exist the safety management system is more or less void and merely a binder of documents.

Further on in the report the reader may fi nd more information about the concept of safety management and the proposals

developed by the Agency to arrive at a common approach to assessment of the safety management systems.

The development of safety

Railways remain a safe form of transport but further analysis of

trends based on common safety indicator (CSI) data cannot be done

yet. Even though both the number of accidents and the total number

of fatalities fell compared to 2007, there are still a substantial

number of unauthorised persons and level crossing users killed and

the total reported number of fatalities was higher than in 2006.

The national investigation bodies (NIBs) have notifi ed the Agency

of 146 accidents that occurred during 2009. The Agency also

received 210 investigation reports during 2009 covering accidents

dating from 2006 and onwards. In January 2010, the Agency set up

a safety information system which enables the Member States and

the industry to disseminate information on safety-critical issues.

The issuing of safety certifi cates according to the Railway Safety

Directive is not proceeding as expected. A review of the annual

reports from the national safety authorities (NSAs) shows that

a number of countries have not yet issued any certifi cates and

some use a combination of the new and old legislation. The use of

dual or old legislation will not be possible as from 1 January 2011,

when all railway undertakings (RUs) are required to have a

certifi cate issued according to the Railway Safety Directive.

The Agency has concerns as to whether all pending applications

for safety certifi cates will be processed in time before the

deadline of 1 January 2011. Up unt il now, over 300 certifi cates

hav e been issued. There are, though, three Member States that

have not yet issued any part A certifi cates and that have a large

number of pending applications.

Transparency of national safety rules, particularly during this

period of change towards the open market, is one of the key

conditions for safe operation of the railways. The Agency has

evaluated how some of the requirements contributing to

transparency of the rules have been implemented in the Member

States. We have concluded that a more systematic and common

approach is necessary to ensure the comprehensiveness of the

national systems of safety rules and their accessibility.

During 2009 the Agency made available a historical archive of

fatal accidents in Europe. The accident data were collected in a

research project and the information is stored in our database.

The archive contains data on 384 serious accidents which

occurred between 1990 and 2005. In this report we present the

archive and some of the trends that emerge from the data.

of 4 472 persons killed (1). Most of the passenger fatalities occur

when passengers try to embark or disembark trains that are

moving. However, there were a number of serious accidents in

2008 that caused a larger number of passenger fatalities. The

accidents are described on page 28. The fl uctuations in reported

number of level crossing fatalities and unauthorised persons

killed can be explained by changes in how the Member States

classify the victims. Viewed together, the reported numbers are

at a stable level during the mentioned period.

The risk profi le of the railways

The railways are generally safe for passengers and employees

and this is confi rmed by the 2008 data. Single fatality accidents,

i.e. unauthorised persons being hit by rolling stock in motion or

level crossing accidents, form the major part of the number of

fatalities. Railway accidents, collisions, derailments and fi res,

only cause less than 2 % of the fatalities.

The total number of passengers killed for the period 2006-2008 is

243, a comparatively small fi gure compared to the total number

(1) Figures according to CSI data as reported by the NSAs.

Level crossing accidents

The number of level crossing accidents constitutes a

substantial share of the total number of accidents.

The NSAs have reported a total of 3 774 level

crossing accidents and 1 287 level crossing users

killed during the three years 2006-2008.

The reported total number of level crossings fell

by 6 % from 2006 to 2007; however, there is a

less than 1 % reduction between 2007 and 2008.

This indicates changes in reporting p rocedures

and that the fi gures are not yet fully reliable. The

total number of level crossings was over 125 000

for 2008. There is a potential for reductions in the

number of fatalities through structured and focused

work with level crossing safety.

Suicides on railway premises

The majority of fatalities in the railway system are suicides. The consequences are not only trauma for the other parties involved, but

also signifi cant for the cost of delays and costs to the rescue services, police investigations, etc. There is a need for a discussion on the

possibilities of reducing the numbers through preventative measures.

Media attention and reporting can adversely affect the number of suicides. As an example, Chart 2 shows the number of suicides per

six months in a metro in Austria, where an agreement with the local media dramatically reduced suicides. The number of suicides

dropped immediately after the agreement (the red line) and stabilised on a third of the number before the agreement (2). This is the

so-called ‘Werther effect’ (3) and has been shown in several studi es. Further, there are indications that simple measures, such as

increased lighting in station areas can have a signifi cant effect on reducing the number of suicides (4).

The railways face an even more diffi cult problem than the metros because of the size of the network. However, identifi cation of ‘hot-

spots’ has proved possible. Some studies indicate that up to 75 % of all suicides occur in the vicinity of psychiatric institutions, and

measures such as fencing etc. in strategic places can prove effective.

measures of different kinds, analyse them and identify the

most effective and cost-effi cient counteractions to prevent

suicides and trespasser fatalities.

A research project on suicides and trespasser fatalities is expected

to be included in the seventh framework programme (5). This

project will be supported by the Agency and will aim at identifying

the pract ices that could be applied to introduce mitigation

Safety reporting andcoordination Accident statistics

Railway accidents and incidents reporting is required in two separate EU legislative acts.

• The Eurostat regulation ((EC) No 2003/91) requires reporting data to Eurostat.

• The Railway Safety Directive (2004/49/EC) requires reporting data to the Railway Agency.

The Railway Safety Directive requires the NSAs to report signifi cant accidents as defi ned in Regulation (EC) No 2003/91. According to this regulation, the Member States may use national defi nitions of the indicators during the fi rst fi ve years.

‘“Signifi cant accident” means any accident involving at least one rail vehicle in motion, resulting in at least one killed or seriously injured person, or in signifi cant damage to stock, track, other installations or environment, or extensive disruptions to traffi c. Accidents in workshops, warehouses and depots are excluded’ (91/2003/EC).

Safety performance

Reporting of accident statistics and indicators

The third set of common safety indicators (CSIs) was largely

reported on time and with less need for corrections than previous

years’ submissions.

The common safety indicators to be reported to the Agency

are laid down in Annex I to the Railway Safety Directive with

defi nitions to be found in the Eurostat regulation. Member

States are also required to report accident data to Eurostat.

Revision of Annex I to the Railway Safety Directive

A revised Annex I to the Railway Safety Directive was published

on 27 November 2009. This new annex provides, for the fi rst time,

a set of safety indicators to be reported according to common

defi nitions and calculation methods.

kg007657Int_b.indd 14 7/09/10 15:16

Page 17: Railway Safety Performance in the European Union 2010

National investigation bodies

According to Article 21 of the Railway Safety Directive, each Member State is required to set up a permanent investigation body with responsibility for investigating serious accidents and incidents.

The NIBs should investigate serious accidents, defi ned as an accident with at least one fatality, or fi ve seriously injured persons, or with an immediate estimated monetary cost of at least EUR 2 million.

The investigation bodies should notify the Agency within one week of the opening of an investigation into a serious accident and should send a full investigation report normally within one year, after the occurrence of a serious accident.

The accident report should ‘contain, where appropriate, safety recommendations’. The recommendations should be addressed to the safety authorities, which must report back to the investigation body on actions taken.

15

Data quality

The work on improving data quality has continued using the same

approach developed for the previous years’ submissions. All the

indicators have been checked for consistency and fl uctuation,

and a comparison with the Eurostat data has been carried out.

There are continuous improvements in data quality; this year it

has also been possible to update the data reported in previous

years. Therefore, the CSI tables in the annex to this report replace

the tables published in previous reports.

Serious accidents

Reporting of serious accidents and accident investigations

Independent accident investigation is a key element of learning

lessons from accidents and incidents. Even though all Member

States except one have established an independent investigation

body, the Agency still has concerns as to whether the

organisation and the procedures in some Member States comply

with the requirements of the directive.

The Railway Safety Directive requires the Member States to set

up an independent accident investigation body that shall notify

the Agency of any investigations opened as well as to sen d

the full investigation report wh en the investigatio n is closed.

In 2009, the national investigation bodies notifi ed the Agency

of 190 investigations opened and submitted 210 investigation

reports. The information is publicly available in the Agency’s

database ERADIS.

Accident types

Accidents to persons caused by rolling stock in motion and level crossing accidents constitute around 75 % of the total number of

accidents on the railways, suicides excluded (6). The gra ph below presents the number of accidents per accident type. The emerging

pattern, a big decrease in the reported number of accidents from 2006 to 2007, can be explained by the reporting of two countries.

Germany reported all collisions of trains in 2006, because signifi cant accident s could not be extracted. Similarly, Bulgaria reported all

accidents in 2006, specifi cally 1 630 ‘Other’ accidents. Excluding these non-signifi cant Bulgarian ‘Other’ accidents and the German

collisions from the dataset, gives 4 726 accidents in 2006 in total; this is closer to the totals for 2007 and 2008.

The chart illustrates that the reporting was developing in 2006 and that it takes time to establish a reporting regime. The situation had

improved in 2007 and was confi rmed by the fi gures reported for 2008.

Fatalities and injuries

The majority of the reported fatalities are for unauthorised persons and level crossing users. The most common type of accident is

trespassers hit by rolling stock in motion. Passenger fatalities account for only 5 % of the total number of deaths.

In Chart 5, showing the reported number of fatalities per victim type and year, there are big fl uctuations in the reported numbers for

fatalities to level crossing users and unauthorised persons. However, by adding together the number of level crossing fatalities and

fatalities of unauthorised persons, year by year, we obtain a series of 1 306, 1 271 and 1 275, which are remarkably stable fi gures. This

clearly indicates that the Member States are still in a learning process on how to classify fatalities and it is probable that this applies

for all indicators. The total number of employee fatalities has remained at 38 for all three years. This is a coincidence as there is some

variation in the fi gures reported by the Member States, as can be seen in Table 1 in Annex 1.

A number of NSAs have reported changes in reporting procedures or defi nitions applied in the data collection. This can also be seen

in Chart 6. For serious injuries, the reported numbers of injured passengers and unauthorised persons show large variations beyond

what might be expected from natural fl uctuation.

The graph shows a rather large drop in the number of passenger injuries from 2006 to 2007. There is no single value that can

explain this, a number of countries have reported a reduction in t he number of passen ger injuries that together account for the total

reduction. The majority of the countries show variation in the reporting for 2006-2008 for all victim types. A better understanding of

the trends and patterns will come when the 2009 data is reported.

Suicides

Suicides are reported separately from accident fatalities. Suicides represent 62 % of the casualties and, together with the unauthorised

persons, constitute 83 % of the fatalities occurring within the railway system. The Member States use different ways of classifying the

fatalities. The revised Annex 1 and its guidance will lead to a more harmonised approach to classifying suicides.

Precursors to accidents

‘Precursors to accidents’ refers to indicators measuring incidents that under other circumstances would have led to an accident. There

are indicators for broken rails, track buckles, signals passed at danger, wrong-side signalling failures, broken wheels and broken axles.

The reported number of track buckles has reduced from 7 803 in 2006 to 835 in

2008, and the reported number of signals passed at danger (SPADs) has increased

threefold. The differences are mainly accounted for by Italy and Poland which

have changed defi nitions during the period, as is apparent in Table 1.

Following the accident in Viareggio in Italy in 2009, the Agency has established

a task force on freight wagon maintenance in cooperation with the Member

States. Among the objectives of the task force are the review, exchange and

analysis of information relating to problems with broken axles/fatigue and

relevant testing methods, the proposal or development of appropriate controls

and monitoring tools, the proposal of measures to review the different maintenance regimes existing across Europe and the drawing

up of a programme for further harmonisation. Within this scope, the Agency has also conducted a survey among the NSAs on the

number of broken axles and wheels. The aim of the survey was to review the fi gures reported to the Agency and the defi nitions used.

The survey showed that most NSAs only reported cracks in wheels and axles that led to an accident. Only one country, Germany,

included cracks detected during regular maintenance, which is in accordance with the guidance for the revised Annex I to the Railway

Safety Directive. Germany reported three cracks that led to accidents in 2008, and a total of 752 cracks. This means that the fi gures

reported for broken wheels and axles, displayed in Chart 8, only show a part of the situation. The survey also showed that problems

with hot boxes are of more concern than cracks in wheels and axles.

Automatic train protection

Defi nition:‘Automatic Train Protection (ATP)’ means a system that enforces obedience to signals and speed restrictions by speed supervision, including automatic stop at signals.

Guidance:Systems where track signalling information is substituted and/or supplemented by cab signalling are included.

The part of the defi nition relating to ‘automatic stop at signals’ is intended to include also automatic stops at confl ict points between clearance gauges.

Accident costs and o ther CSIs

The data on the cost of accidents show wide variation and it is

evident to the Agency that the Member States have problems

in establishing reporting regimes for accident cost data. The

revised Annex I to the Railway Safety Directive will require the

NSAs to use the willingness-to-pay approach using estimates

of the Value for Preventing a Fatality (VPF). They can either

estimate a national value or use the reference values given in

the Agency’s guidance. It is foreseen that this will simplify the

work for the Member States and will lead to a consistent and

harmonised approach. The Agency will start analysing data on

the cost of accidents starting when the 2010 accident indicators

are submitted.

Infrastructure

Three CSIs concern railway infrastructure, one is a measure of

the coverage of automatic train protection systems on the lines;

the other is the number of level crossings, normalised by the length of the network expressed in track km and the third gives

information on the level of protection at level crossings.

Reporting by the inve stigation bodies

The Agency’s public database of safety documents includes notifi cations of investigations and reports submitted by the investigation

bodies.

Chart 14 shows the trend in the submissions of notifi cations and investigation reports. Even though the majority of the investigation

reports are submitted within one year it is also clear that a substantial number of investigations take a longer time. At the end of

2009 there were still 157 open investigations for accidents that occurred 2006-2008, which shows that the fi nal reports for 28 % of

all investigations were not submitted within 12 months. Some Member States report a lack of resources as the main reason for not

being a ble to fi nish all the notifi ed investigations.

The chart also shows that not all accident investigations are notifi ed to the Agency within a week. The Railway Safety Directive

requires the NIBs to notify the Agency of opened investigations within one week of opening an investigation. Looking only at the

notifi cations submitted during 2009, the pattern becomes even more visible.

Chart 15 shows the time span between occurrence and notifi cation. Some 48 of the 190 notifi cations received in 2009 referred to

investigations of accidents that occurred 2008 or earlier. The Agency will look further into this and the reporting procedures of the NIBs.

NIB annual reports

The annual reports submitted by the NIBs show large variation

in the activities of the investigatio n bodies. The Agency received

23 annual reports for 2008. The number of investigations

opened during 2008 varies from 0 to over 50, and the number of

recommendations issued from 0 to over 180.

Historical archive of accidents

In a research project the Agency has collected data on serious

accidents for the period 1990–2007. The accident archive is

publicly available in our database, accessible through the Agency’s

website at the following address: http://pdb.era.europa.eu. The

criterion for including an accident in the archive was the defi nition

of a serious accident, as given in the Railway Safety Directive. For

the purpose of the project, a li st of specifi c scenarios for inclusion

or exclusion of accidents was set up.

The project identifi ed 402 accidents, of which 382 were not previously

known to ERA. The initial list of accidents was set up through a media

and news report search. The list was then completed and verifi ed by

the National Investigation Bodies. Regarding the completeness of

the data, the project concluded that the coverage and accuracy of

data was satisfactory for the following accident types:

• Fatal train collisions, derailments and fi res.

• Level crossing accidents with on-train fatalities.

• Other accidents with four or more fatalities.

There are several ways to analyse the data. Chart 16 shows the number of fatal accidents with at least fi ve fatalities and the number

of fatalities in these accidents. There is a slight downward trend in the number of fatal accidents per year.

The outcome, the number of fatalities per year, does not show the same trend. The accidents in Eschede, Germany, in 1998, with

101 fatalities, and the Viareggio accident in Italy in 2009, with 32 fatalities, have obvious clear impact on the totals for those years.

Accidents in Europe

Each y e ar a number of very serious accidents with passenger or

train crew fatalities occur. This section contains descriptions of

a selection of accidents and events that have been exceptionally

severe or that have implications for the management of safety

and contains information that is of interest on a European level.

More information about the accidents can be found in the

Agency’s database at the web address http://pdb.era.europa.eu.

Zoufftgen accident, France

On 11 October 2006, a freight train and a regional express train

collided head-on on the border between France and Luxembourg,

near Zoufftgen. In February 2009, the fi nal report on the train

collision was published. The accident led to the death of six people,

one seriously injured person and 15 lightly injured persons.

A t the time, only one of the two tracks was used because of

maintenance work. The investigation showed that the direct cause

of the accident was communications error: ‘the Traffi c Controller of

the Bettembourg Central Control Post mistakenly issued the driver

of the RET an order to pass through the “danger” signal protecting

the section of track on which the freight train was travelling’ (12).

A number of underlying causes for this error were identifi ed.

The investigation led to 22 recommendations addressing a range

of issues; regulations and routines for staff in command control

centres, communication and warning equipment and procedures

which focus on cross-border aspects; as well as more technical

aspects such as faults in signalling equipment.

Passenger train fi re, Bulgaria

Nine passengers were killed and 10 were seriously injured when a

sleeping coach caught fi re on 28 February 2008 on the line between

the railway stations Kunino and Cherven Briyag. Train staff tried to

evacuate passengers and fi ght the fi re using on-board extinguishers,

the train was stopped on the line and unsuccessful attempts were

made to disconnect the coach on fi re from the rest of the train.

The investigation conducted by the Bulgarian NIB concluded

that the fi re was caused by an electrical failure in the lighting of

one of the compartments. This resulted in sparking and intensive

heat, which destroyed the insulation material in the roof of

the coach and produced a fl ammable gas which ignited and

exploded, and led to the fi re in the compartment.

Collision with sheep and derailment, Germany

On 26 April 2008, 22 people were seriously injured when a high speed passenger train hit a herd of sheep at the entrance to the

Landrücken tunnel south of Fulda, and subsequently derailed and impacted against the tunnel walls.

The German investigation body issued recommendations on aspects of the design of high speed trains, communication during

operation and between the railway undertaking, infrastructure manager and the rescue services.

Bridge collapse, Czech Republic

On 8 August 2008 a motorway road bridge above the Studenka

station collapsed just in front of an approaching Eurocity train

travelling at 134 km/h. An emergency brakin g by the driver

reduced the speed to 90 km/h. The train collided with the ruins

of the bridge and derailed. Derailed carriages consequently

collided with an infrastructure works train waiting in the station.

The accident led to seven fatalities and 88 injuries. An eighth

victim subsequently died two months later. The total damage

is estimated to have been around EUR 2.5 million. The bridge

was undergoing repairs and the investigation showed that

regulations were not observed by the construction company.

Tunnel fi re, Channel Tunnel

A road vehicle on a shuttle train caught fi re during transit through the Channel Tunnel on 11 September 2008. The train crew and

passengers escaped to a sa fe place in the adjacent service tunnel and there were no injuries. The material damage was substantial as

the fi re spread to all 27 vehicles on the shuttle, damaging both the tunnel infrastructure and the train.

The French national investigation body has conducted an accident investigation, however, no investigation report has been released

at the time of editing this report.

Train collision, Hungary

A failure of the signal system on a line between Pilis and Monor

stations on 6 October 2008 led to a collision between an intercity

train and a regional passenger train. The intercity train left the

Pilis station fi rst and travelled at 15 km/hour. In the following

regional passenger train, the driver did not follow the rules to

run at the permitted speed, and accelerated the train to 100 km/

hour. Since the interlocking system was out of order and the

automatic train protection was inactivated, the passenger train

ran into the end of the intercity train and collided at a speed of

71 km/hour. The collision caused four passenger fatalities and

four persons were seriously injured.

Derailment and dangerous goods accident, Viareggio, Italy

Some 32 persons were killed and 27 persons seriously injured

by a gas explosion when a freight train derailed in Viareggio in

northern Italy on Monday, 29 June 2009. The accident occurred

at 23.48 local time on the approach to Viareggio Station.

The train involved in the accident consisted of 14 tank wagons that

carried liquefi ed petroleum gas (LPG). Following the derailment,

one of the wagons was punctured, gas leaked out and, after a few

minutes the gas cloud, which spread out over the station and a

nearby street, exploded causing severe damage to the station and

the houses and leading to fatalities in the surroundings.

The preliminary investigation showed that the cause of the

accident was a broken axle on one of the overturned cars. The

accident investigation opened by the Italian investigation body

is to be completed by mid-2010.

Bridge c ollapse, Ireland

At 18.07 on 21 August 2009, a train driver, travelling between Donabate and Malahide Stations over the Broadmeadow Estuary in

north County Dublin, reported a partial collapse of the Malahide viaduct. The viaduct is a 176-metre wide structure, with 11 stone

masonry piers, which support a pre-stressed, precast concrete deck.

The train driver immediately called the signaller, who isolated the track section on the viaduct and stopped all train services travelling

over the viaduct. A rock causeway runs between the piers of the viaduct mitigating the effects of tidal fl ow on the viaduct. When

the Irish investigation body arrived at the site, one of the middle supporting masonry piers of the viaduct had crumbled, causing a

20-metre section of the deck (track, s leepers and ballast) to collapse.

Initial investigations of the viaduct structure indicate that scour undermining of the pier was a causal factor to the accident. The

investigation body is continuing its investigations and a report on the accident is expected to be released within one year.

Suicides, Germany

On 10 November 2009, a well-known German football goalkeeper committed suicide by throwing himself in front of a train. This event

triggered a wave of suicides, signifi cantly increasing the number of suicides on the railways in the weeks following the incident (13). It

is a well-known fact that tragic events like this lead to an increase in suicides. The German railways had previously managed to bring

down the number of suicides, partly as a result of agreements with the press not to publish information on suicides. However, in a

case like this, media attention and publicity were unavoidable and the following increase in suicides inevitable.

Train collision, Belgium

In the morning rush hour of 15 February 2010, two passenger

trains collided at Buizingen station, 2 km north of Halle in

Belgium. The accident forced one train to plough deep into the

front carriage of the other, ripping open and totally destroying

another carriage. There were some 300 passengers on the two

trains and the accident caused the death of 19 people and a total

of 171 injured.

The devastation at the accident scene was enormous and there

was also substantial damage to the overhead power lines, as two

of the carriages were forced up into the air by the collision.

The Belgian investigation body has started an investigation into

the causes of the accident.

Managing safety

Page 35: Railway Safety Performance in the European Union 2010

Safety management systems

A safety management system (SMS) is a documented process for managing risks and it integrates the operation of the railway, the vehicles and the infrastructure.

It is an important way of demonstrating that railway undertakings and infrastructure managers are operating and maintaining their part of the railway systems.

A harmonisation of the assessment of SMS ensures that the market is open and competitive because each Member State will be adopting a consistent and transparent process for managing safety.

33

Assessing safety management systems

The Railway Safety Directive requires n ational safety authorities

to assess the safety management systems of railway

undertakings and infrastructure managers. If the SMS meets

requirements set out in the Railway Safety Directive the NSA

can issue a safety certifi cate to a RU or an authorisation to an

infrastructure manager. This is known as part A certifi cation. The

part B certifi cate is the network-specifi c requirements relating to

the infrastructure and/or the vehicles used and operated. Part A

certifi cates for railway undertakings are valid throughout the EU

whereas the RUs will need to obtain a Part B certifi cate for each

Member State that they operate in.

The Agency issued draft assessment criteria in 2007 for NSAs

to use when assessing the safety management system relevant

for the part A certifi cate. The criteria, that together with a set of

principles for both the assessment process and the supervision

regime form the common safety method on conformity

assessment (CSM on CA), is due to become a regulation in 2010.

The use of this method will help to ensure trust between Member

States, assist railway undertakings to gain access to networks in

different Member States and form a fi rst step in the migration

towards a single certifi cate.

kg007657Int_b.indd 33 7/09/10 15:17

Page 36: Railway Safety Performance in the European Union 2010

Safety certifi cates issued

Up until now, 19 NSAs have used the Railway Safety Directive to award certifi cates. The rest are either using the provisions of

previous legislation (Directive 2001/14) or a combination. NSAs have until 1 January 2011 before they are required to issue certifi cates

and authorisations according to the Railway Safety Directive. A review of the NSA annual reports also shows that only three countries,

Czech Republic, France and Norway, have issued part B certifi cates for a RU from another country, six certifi cates in total.

Table 3. Safety certifi cates issued and pending. Source: ERA database ERADIS and NSA Annual reports. Data as per 30 January 2010.(*) The Agency has no reliable information in its database on the number of part B certifi cates issued. There is no requirement to notify the Agency when a part B certifi cate is issued.

The Agency has concerns that those Member States that have not yet issued certifi cates according to the Railway Safety Directive,

Germany, Italy and Greece, will not be able to issue certifi cates on time. If this is not achieved by the end of 2010, the railway

undertakings in these countries will not be able to provide any service.

Common safety targets

Common safety targets a re quantitative tools intended to monitor that current safety levels of the railways in the Member States

are at least maintained. In the long term, they are also intended to help in reducing the current differences in safety performance.

In 2009, a Commission Decision (2009/460/EC) entered into force and established a method for calculating common safety targets

(CSTs) and national reference values (NRVs). During the year, the Agency completed the work with Eurostat to increase data quality

and correct errors in the reporting.

The fi rst set of CSTs and NRVs was calculated, based on Eurostat data, and was included in a recommendation delivered to the

Commission in September 2009 and was published in the Offi cial Journal on 22 July 2010 as Commission Decision 2010/409/EC.

In the fi rst half of 2010, the Agency will carry out the fi rst assessment of achievement of the fi rst set of CSTs, based on four-year time

series of Eurostat data on railway accidents, covering the period 2005–08.

Safety regulation

In several Member States, the safety regulatory framework is still undergoing signifi cant development. The Agency has begun

an evaluation of the national measures implementing the Railway Safety Directive in the Member States at the request of the

Commission. The Agency also evaluates the notifi cations and registers the rules in the Agency’s public database, which now contains

the notifi ed rules of most Member States.

kg007657Int_b.indd 34 7/09/10 15:17

Page 37: Railway Safety Performance in the European Union 2010

35

The transparency and availability of the national safety rules that should be used by the railway undertakings operating on the railway

network is important to the opening up of the market. The Directive requires Member States to notify the Commission of new and

amended rules (14). The Commission monitors and reviews the introduction of new national rules. The long-term objective of the

Railway Safety Directive is the gradual reduction of national rules in order to move to a more harmonised European approach.

During 2009, the Agency published a report on the evaluation of the way in which national safety rules are published and made

available in the Member States (15). The conclusions drawn from the evaluation listed below.

• All notifi ed national safety rules are published and made available, but are not necessarily easy to fi nd.

• The Agency has concerns that the system of national safety rules is not yet comprehensive, as the measures to establish all the

safety rules necessary for a safe railway operation have not yet been fully implemented.

• Particular attention should be paid to the infrastructure manager and railway undertaking rules in the development of the

national safety regulatory framework as in many Member States there is restricted consultation on the draft rules, and the safety

rules are not easily accessible for the stakeholders.

• A more systematic and common approach by the safety authorities is necessary to ensure accessibility to the safety rules for all

stakeholders, particularly applicants for safety certifi cation.

On the basis of these conclusions, the Agency has issued a recommendation addressed to the Commission (16).

Further studies on freight train derailments

In May 2009 the Agency recommended the Commission not to adopt, in Community

laws, a new measure for dangerous goods wagons proposed by the RID Committee of

Experts. The proposed device, giving a signifi cant share of false alarms, would increase

disturbances to freight services, and would also introduce n ew unsolved problems

both in interoperability and safety. The balance between potential advantages and

disadvantages was therefore likely to be negative for the overall railway system.

Following extensive discussions, and taking into account the case of rare but potentially

catastrophic accidents, EU Member States adopted a Community position agreeing with

the Agency’s recommendation and considered it necessary to undertake an exhaustive

analysis of potential new measures, leading to clear benefi ts for the railway system. The

new scope of analysis covers all freight trains and will allow the Agency to study the best

options for preventing derailments or reducing their consequences. The results of the study

will be available in 2012.

Network of safety authorities

A series of peer reviews has taken place, with the purpose of learning and sharing information on the methods used by the safety

authorities in assessments of applications for safety certifi cates. The peer reviews are meetings held with a limited number of

authorities where the working methods and process are presented and discussed. The reviews are seen as a good way for creating

trust, giving information on the working methods and learning from each other. The network of authorities decided in 2009 to widen

the scope of peer reviews to authorisations for placing in service because of the useful results of peer review on safety certifi cation.

Challenges and changes: the future of railway safety

Page 39: Railway Safety Performance in the European Union 2010

37

Development of safety reporting

The Agency is developing during 2010 the reporting tools for

the NSAs and the NIBs. In order to improve data quality and

reduce workload for the NSAs and the Agency, an automatic

data quality check of CSI data will be developed. Upon upload

of CSI data, the NSA will be presented with a data quality report

and given a possibility to check and correct their data before

submission to the Agency.

Further, a new system for notifi cations and reporting of accidents

will enable a more fl exible and rational handling of data, provide

added value and functionality for the NIBs and improve the

possibilities of dissemination of information for the Agency. A

fi rst version of the system will be developed during 2010 and put

in service during 2011.

Development of common safety targets

In 2010 the Agency starts working on the fut u re developments

of CSTs and NRVs and will evaluate th e possibility of developing

NRVs and CSTs also for parts of the railway system as well as for

accident precursors. To this end, pilot projects at national level

could be launched in this year.

The possibility of using EU funding resources to support the

Member States to achieve, in the future, more demanding safety

targets, will be evaluated with a view to preparing the ground for

the second set of CSTs and NRVs.

Migration to a single safety certifi cate

The Agency is, during 2010, evaluating the development of

safety certifi cation by the NSAs. The evaluation will form the

basis of a recommendation to the Commission on strategies for

migration towards a single Community Safety certifi cate. The

single common safety certifi cate will allow RUs to operate freely

across borders usi ng one certifi cate accepted by all NSAs.

From the information currently available (17), it is evident that

not all Member States have developed and applied the necessary

administrative procedures to ensure an effective application of

the Railway Safety Directive. Without these procedures in place

it is likely that it will take time for all Member States and NSAs to

be on an equal footing. The adoption of the CSM on conformity

assessment will help but it is likely that additional elements, like

for example the CSM on risk assessment or the develop ment of

the certifi cation of the entity in charge of maintenance, will need

to be in place before the long-term objective of a fully open and

competitive rail market will be achieved. This will come when we

have a fully mature and safe railway system which has the SMS

at the heart of its operation. The Agency will work together with

the European railway actors to achieve this.

The future role of the Railway Agency

The Agency has played a crucial role in the development of

railway safety in Europe following the implementation of

the Railway Safety Directive into national legislations. In the

beginning, the Agency had more of a regulatory role, producing

recommendations to the European Commission. This role has

been transformed to assisting the Member States in a number of

areas, from establishing the safety authorities and investigation

bodies, giving advice in the implementation process of the

Railway Safety Directive into national legislation, through

setting up networks and establishing reporting procedures

and routines, to development of recommendations, guidance,

safety targets and safety methods. The role has so far been more

focused on helping and supporting the Member States rather

than monitoring and controlling.

There is still work to be done and many Memb er States need help

in establishing a safety regime according to the Railway Safety

Directive. The Agency believes it to be important to continue the

(17) Information received in the peer reviews and impact assessments of the CSM

on conformity assessment.

kg007657Int_b.indd 37 7/09/10 15:17

Page 40: Railway Safety Performance in the European Union 2010

38

current work and have a good working relationship between the

Agency and the national bodies and authorities.

However, the role of the Agency will change in the future. With

the fi rst set of safety targets to become EU law during this year,

and the development of a second, possibly more demanding set

under way, the role will change to more of a monitoring role,

and this is likely to affect the relationship between the national

bodies and authorities and the Agency.

The Agency and the safety authorities have also established a

refl ection group that, in a series of meetings, will work on the

future role of the Agency, of the safety authorities and of the

cooperation between the NSAs and the Agency. The refl ection

group will look at the need for more structured auditing activities

as a measure to ensure the correct application of the Railway

Safety Directive by the safety authorities when assessing the

safety management systems in the certifi cation processes and

by the investigation bodies when investigating serious accidents.

There are also requests for the Agency to take a more active role in

certain areas, recently reinforced by the tragic events at Viareggio

in Italy and Halle in Belgium. The Agency has provided support

to the Italian and Belgian investigation bodies and also, after the

Viareggio accident, developed special taskforces for freight wagon

maintenance to give a European perspective to the problems.

It will be a challenge for the Agency to manage these partly

confl icting requirements in the future. There will be a need for

a discussion on the focus of the future role of the Agency and

how it can help in the work for a safe and modern European

railway.

kg007657Int_b.indd 38 7/09/10 15:17

Page 41: Railway Safety Performance in the European Union 2010

39

Looking forward

The year 2010 promises to be a challenging year for the railway

safety sector in Europe. The tragic events in Italy and recently in

Belgium are a clear reminder that we cannot lean back and relax.

The work for a safe modern and competitive railway sector will

continue and accelerate.

In 2010 we will see results of the work in the freight wagon

maintenance task force, with possible effects on the procedures

and standards for inspection and maintenance of axles. 2010 is

also the last year that railway undertakings can provide services

under the provisions of previous legislations. From 1 January

2011 all railway undertakings must have a certifi cate issued

under the Railway Safety Directive 2004/39/EC. It will be a

challenge for certain Member States to get up to speed with the

assessment of RUs applications and issuing certifi cates. The end

goal is a better platform for a migration to a single European

certifi cate and the work will start during this year.

The key issue will be the development of the safety management

systems of the railway undertakings and the infrastructure

managers and the NSAs ability to assess and supervise their

application. A sound and systematic way of managing risks can

be achieved through the establishment of safety management

systems that comply with the requirements of the Railway

Safety Directive. For many countries, there is a lot of work still

to be done.

The revised Annex I to the Railway Safety Directive requires

the Member States to comply with harmonised defi nitions

when reporting accident and incident data. This will provide

a better platform for understanding trends and patterns in

safety performance and will, in the future, be a solid ground for

evaluation of performance against the safety targets.

The national investigation bodies will face new challenges

and new common methods and approaches will be developed.

Training courses at a European level can help in guiding

investigators in looking deeper into the underlying and root

causes of accidents, and to analyse the safety management

systems when investigating accidents. This will shed new light

on the safety performance of the railways in the European

Union.
