Rail Engineering & Design Safety Management

This 3 day course provides engineers, managers and others involved in safety-related projects with a detailed understanding of the fundamentals of EDSM supported by competency based structure.

Our expert course directors are able to draw upon years of railway experience in developing, teaching and applying the key principles of EDSM.

This unique training course is structured around 16 modules as described in the outline-table.

The opening module provides background to EDSM and a brief overview of its application in the railway drawing upon best practice. The following modules introduce a number of EDSM fundamentals and the approach suggested by the good practice and standards for putting them into place.

Comprehensive guidance on implementing safe work systems in the railway is provided and all participants will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience of the main techniques involved.

The course content is mapped to:

• Industry standard competencies, skills and evidence requirements relevant to rail safety work (see our website for details)
• Industry regulations
• Australian and international standards

The lectures are interspersed with practical exercises. There is short multiple choice examination at the end to assess the identified learning outcomes
