1 Båstad 28th September 2009 Safety and Security together in the railway environment Simon Fletcher Head of Safety Unit and Regional Coordinator, Europe (UIC) and Jacques Colliard Head of Security International Union of Railways (UIC)

2 Båstad 28th September 2009 Members Active Associate Affiliate The UIC in 2009 Nearly 200 members from all 5 continents Members are integrated railways, railway undertakings, infrastructure managers, rail service providers, public transport companies,..

3 Båstad 28th September 2009 Mission: UIC promotes rail transport at a multi-regional level in order to meet the challenges of mobility in the modern world and sustainable system development Main UIC objectives:  Facilitate exchange on good practises among members and with other modes (benchmarking)  Support members in their efforts to develop new business opportunities,  Propose new ways for improving economic and safety performance of the rail network  Achieve interoperability, create new global standards for rail (including common standards with other modes)  Focus on the core issues of market position, technological advancement, sustainable development and standardisation,..) UIC Mission and objectives

4 Båstad 28th September 2009 The rail landscape is changing: the market (internal and external competition) legislation (separation of infrastructure management from train management, market liberalisation, European Railway Agency…) opportunities linked with globalisation of economy and transport lead to new business opportunities Understanding and managing the key interfaces essential to a safe railway New challenges for safety

5 Båstad 28th September 2009 A zoom on safety and security

6 Båstad 28th September 2009  Safety is the state of being "safe”. The condition of being protected against physical, social, occupational, psychological, or other types or consequences of failure, damage, error, harm or any other event which could be considered as non-desirable  Security as a state or condition is resistance to harm. From an objective perspective, it is a system or structure's actual (conceptual, and never fully known) degree of resistance to harm. In the rail context that could imply the system’s vulnerability to threats from 3rd parties Definitions

7 Båstad 28th September 2009 Security / safety : A variation So these definitions can be summarised as : Safety is protection against accidental events but these can come from internal causes (faults, errors, omissions…) and external causes (for example 3rd parties at level crossings) Security is protection against intentional damage (delinquency, attacks, terrorism….) But some languages use the same word for both!!

8 Båstad 28th September 2009 Safety : prime responsibility of rail operators for the efficacy of the railway system, clearly defined Security : less well understood - shared responsibility with national authorities Security / Safety : nature and responsibilities

9 Båstad 28th September 2009 Customers expect both safety and security :  When you entrust your travel to someone else you want to arrive safe and secure and you expect the carrier to have thought about risks or threats  When you travel by yourself you are only responsible of your behaviour and you accept risks from others Security / safety : A common obligation

10 Båstad 28th September 2009 A security incident can have safety consequences  Trespassing (person hit by a train) (UIC safety database - 65% of the total of all accidents. Increasing trend - were 64% in 2007 and 59% in 2006 – nearly a 1000 fatalites and 500 serious injuries)  Destruction of signalling installations  Theft of equipment related to rail operation (cable, metals…) Security / Safety : some links

11 Båstad 28th September 2009 Security / Safety: fundamental values – core activity  There is a need for wider community responsibility to be taken in the development of solutions to combat such types of accidents  UIC Safety Platform proposing a joint plan of action to combat risk from T&V  Work closely with security colleagues  2 areas of core activity within UIC

12 Båstad 28th September 2009  The human element……  Education of the wider population  Use personnel as the eyes and ears  Development of a safety and security culture  Technology  Common standards and procedures Security / Safety : similar reasoning

13 Båstad 28th September 2009  Keen to learn about other programmes – especially outside Europe  Plan to come back at IRSC 2010 with some useful output  This affects us all, partners are welcome!! Security / Safety : your experiences

14 Båstad 28th September 2009 To continue the debate…..  Safety :  Security :  UIC Website :

15 Båstad 28th September 2009 European Level Crossing Awareness Day 25 June 2009

16 Båstad 28th September 2009 Objectives  Raise awareness of the critical risks at level crossings/Improve safety at Level crossings  Focus on education/promote safe behaviour of users and other actors at and around level crossings  Develop the multi-modality of the issue  Add value to national campaigns! Bulgarian campaign poster

17 Båstad 28th September 2009 Successful with 27 awareness measures/projects Level of success Antonio Tajani European Commission Vice-President and Transport Commissioner “Road safety is a priority issue for the European Commission. Many of us, in one way or another have been touched by road accidents. This is why it is also my personal conviction that such initiatives should be encouraged. I therefore welcome that road and rail stakeholders have taken the initiative to tackle this challenge together. I am sure that activities like the European Level Crossing Awareness Day will help to improve the safety at level crossings.”

18 Båstad 28th September 2009 Follow-up of ELCAD  Planning a brochure on communicating best practices based on ELCAD  Proposal for an International Level Crossing Awareness Day (ILCAD) – June 2010  Strong commitment to continue to raise awareness – remember education is the key
