SAFETY PLAN TO REDUCE TRAIN ACCIDENTS

---

The Corporate Safety Plan (2003-2013) of Indian Railways seeks to improve passenger and road users safety, reduce train accidents, improve asset reliability and provide prompt rescue and relief operations.

It requires each Zone and Division to identify safety risks to its business and prepare a detailed action programme to ensure that the standards of safety improve.

The measures involve administrative decisions, policy directives, induction of safety equipment and acquisition of safety materials.

The Plan aims at reduction of passenger casualties, road users casualties, enhancement of human resource development, revision of rules and efforts to contain asset failures.
