Railway Safety Directive

The Railway Safety Directive is a set of European regulations aimed at ensuring the safety of railway operations across member countries. It establishes common standards for designing, maintaining, and operating trains and railway infrastructure to prevent accidents and protect passengers and workers. By harmonizing safety rules, risk management, and incident reporting, the directive promotes consistent safety levels and facilitates cooperation among railway companies and regulators within the EU. Its goal is to minimize risks, improve safety culture, and ensure reliable and secure rail transportation for all users.
