Suosituksen perustelu

The Finnish Transport Agency lacks a real-time system for recording rail traffic safety deviations. Consequently, deviation data is not processed systematically. This lack of an occurrence system slows down the analysis of safety deviations, hampers the attempts to learn from them, and impedes the work of the safety authorities.

Recommendation

The Finnish Transport Agency will allocate sufficient resources for developing the careful, systematic and rapid processing of safety deviations.
