  1. International Railway Safety Conference Tokyo - November 2002 Man’s contribution towards system safety Pierre Vignes, Deputy manager for « Human Factors » International Railway Safety Conference

  2. - Which safety strategy today ? Limitations - Which solution ? - An example: “Eurostar” - Perspective for European traffics Presentation International Railway Safety Conference

  3. The cornerstone of the last 50 years’ safety improvement within all industrial domains (aviation, nuclear, chemical, rail…) has been based on: anticipate all work situations specify every detail of “right” behaviour select the “right” profiles (e.g. personality) train the operators to follow procedures automation blame the deviants This approach has proven its worth but ... The limits of our systems 1/2 International Railway Safety Conference

  4. Safety level 10-7 apogee 10-6 10-5 10-4 The limits of our systems 2/2 … Any safety strategy will regress if pushed too far (René Amalberti) Efforts International Railway Safety Conference

  5. Errors are not an issue of negligence: all humans are fallible The link between individual errors and accidents is more an intuition than a fact Safety cannot be brought down to rules and procedures only The limitations of normative approach International Railway Safety Conference

  6. From individual errors to safety consequences • Individual errors have no consequences ‘per se’ • Consequences are defined by the system’s vulnerability International Railway Safety Conference

  7. Supplementing the normative paradigm with a systemic approach to safety, joint efforts of human sciences specialists and engineers and therefore : Awareness, training of the management, Internal and external new competencies, New method to develop our projects, Applied and target researches. Which solution ? International Railway Safety Conference

  8. New type of train, new conditions: training with simulators Different systems: approach through differences Communications in three possible languages: new languages training, new form of documents as help, New safety requirements (Tunnel …) ... An example : “Eurostar” International Railway Safety Conference

  9. A new way to design and manage safety but a certain resistance of the management line, A new dimension: European traffic, new problems, A research to: draw lessons from the experiences of cross-border traffics, develop a way of organising work from point of “human factors” view, A goal: to be ready in July 2003. Conclusion - Perspective International Railway Safety Conference
