Developing a Checking and Evaluating System for Railway Safety Management─A Case Study for Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation / 軌道運輸系統安全管理檢核評估之研究─以台北捷運公司為例

碩士 / 國立交通大學 / 運輸工程與管理系 / 89 / Checking and evaluating is becoming increasingly important popular as a means of preventing workplace accidents and near accidents for safety management. Safety is the top priority in railway operation and depends on its safety management. This study tries to apply the accident preventing method of system safety for Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation (TRTC).
The first task of this study is to determine the contents of safety management for a railway system, which are required to assure the safety for a specified railway system during any phase of its lifecycle. A completed railway system safety management, as a minimum, should include the following activities: system safety planning, system safety designing, system safety constructing, operating safety management, workplace safety management, staff safety training management, maintenance safety management, methods of preventing critical accidents, supervision and checking management.
The focus group method is applied to TRTC staffs to identify the salient Railway Problem Factors (RPF) of safety management for the railway system. Compiling TRTC staff’s discussion results, full agreement was reached on 19 RPF’s. These 19 RPF’s enabled the construction of a “Draft TRTC Safety Checklist”. This draft checklist was revised and became the “TRTC Safety Checklist” after the review taken by rail professionals and experts.
Risk assessment of railway safety management includes the checklist evaluation and criticality analysis. The empirical study results showed the crowded passengers on the platform is the most dangerous situation for TRTC operation. Furthermore, different staff groups, in terms of departments, working years, and accident experience, were found to evaluate different probabilities and severities for the same RPF.
