There is a concern at senior levels of the rail industry that operational decision making has become undervalued in recent years, which may adversely affect train performance and impact on whole system safety risk. RSSB research T1135 Development of an operational decision-making model for abnormal working, aimed to investigate the current state of decision-making training for front-line staff and managers in the GB railway industry, and determine what additional support could help staff to make more effective operational decisions. T1135 examined whether a decision-making tool, as used in other safety-critical sectors such as aviation and the emergency services, might be a viable aid for rail staff. The research developed a decision-making tool and training package to support and improve front-line operational decision making. For an overview of the tool, see Appendix B.
