This year’s IOSH Railway Group Conference focuses on the challenges of implementing major changes while maximising opportunities to improve how things are done. As gold sponsors of the event, we’re proud to support and be part of this vital conversation.
Change sits at the very heart of the TOP-SET methodology. When we investigate any incident, one of the first and fundamental questions asked is: ‘What has changed?’ This is because incidents rarely happen in static environments – something always shifts, whether it’s procedures, personnel, equipment, or conditions.
As the railway industry undergoes major transformation, this principle becomes even more relevant. Every organisational change, new technology implementation, or procedural update creates potential for both improvement and new failure modes. Understanding what changed – and how those changes contributed to incidents – is essential for learning and preventing recurrence.
Join Kelvin TOP-SET and Ian Prosser CBE, Former Chief Inspector of Railways and Director of Railway Safety at Office of Rail Regulation, and other leading industry experts, including:
Priti Patel, Chief Health and Safety Officer, Network Rail
Paul Appleton, HM Deputy Chief Inspector of Railways at ORR
Andy Hall, Deputy Chief Inspector, RAIB
We will be at the IOSH Railway Conference in Birmingham on 1st July to discuss how robust investigation supports safe transformation in an industry that’s reshaping itself for the future.
