Rail Safety Incident Investigation Training in Australia: Developing a National Framework

This research aims to establish a structured national training program for rail incident investigators in Australia and New Zealand, addressing the current lack of a cohesive framework. Funded by CRC Rail Innovation, the project focuses on developing a competency framework, exploring market demand, defining curricula, and enhancing training delivery options. The initiative seeks to increase the pool of qualified investigators, enhance training quality, and provide recognized career pathways, ultimately promoting safety and efficiency within the rail industry.
