Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this chapter is to present the key assumptions for understanding rail transport safety management. Design/Methodology/Approach: A critical literature review and theoretical and practical reflections aimed at explaining the complexity of technological rail transport management, have been adopted as the methodology for this chapter. Findings: This chapter presents the interdisciplinary nature of rail transport safety issues. Research limitations/Implications: The limitations of the analytical and evaluation study stem from the difficulties in identifying those issues which are of the utmost importance in fully explaining the role of safety management against the background of specialist issues and contextual safety determinants of railway systems. Practical implications: The practical nature of the issues discussed has been demonstrated in the resultant nature of the proposed methods and approaches to attempts to clarify the selected aspects of shaping approaches to rail transport safety. Originality/Value: The originality of the analytical and research intention is the comprehensive identification of various concepts such as the role of railway market operators, the specificity of the functioning of the railway system, the value chain in rail transport, the safe operation of railway vehicles and the place and role of safety management systems.
