Safety management at the transitional stage

Safety planning for the transitional stage was not entirely successful. The location of the construction area, the use of the railhead sign on the route, and the utilisation of the features of the signal box, were not appropriate in terms of the entire project. Decommissioning or exceptional usage of systems relating to Automatic Train Protection and safe traffic arrangements should be taken into account as separate risk factors in safety planning relating to the railway system.

A risk assessment of technical safety systems as well as the planning, implementation, provision of instructions, and monitoring of safety-enhancing measures based on this assessment should be carried out in conjunction with all construction projects involving work on safety devices.
