Training for the Rail Industry

Our expertise in human sciences is second to none. And our training reflects the real issues that confront the rail industry.

In addition to management issues like recruitment, organisation climate surveys and human resource planning, we have researched a range of issues that are specific to rail business - like the causes of driver fatigue, response to shift patters, operator efficiency and environmental impacts on drivers' signal perception.

Our training expertise includes:

• ergonomics
• safety & human error
• organisational climate surveys
• human-machine interface
• recruitment & selection
• fatigue & rostering
• confidential reporting
• training and skills evaluation
• human performance modelling
• manpower modelling
• human system interaction
• design evaluation
• emergency escape & impact

The right training is an investment, not a cost
We also work with companies to research and develop tailored training for their specific needs and situations.

For instance, we worked with the Great North Eastern Railway (GNER) to investigate the potential costs and benefits of different training techniques. We showed in detail how the funding for relevant and appropriate training delivery produces a significant payback, through sustained performance improvements.
