overview
Join us in Melbourne for the largest and most comprehensive conference focused on all aspects of rail safety in Australia.
Across Australia, rail is experiencing record investment. In Victoria alone, there is $38 billion of transport projects currently in construction, with 41 major transport projects currently being built and involving over 12,000 people. The increase in demand for new infrastructure, implementation of current technologies and the burgeoning strain on resources, poses an influx of new risks to the industry which require a collaborative response to address and ensure the safety of all working and using the rail industry.
The key messages that we took away from the highly successful RISSB Rail Safety Conference in 2018, was that in an age of digitalisation, change is a constant and with changing technology comes the need and opportunity to apply dynamic responses to safety solutions.
On the back of this strong foundation, the RISSB Rail Safety Conference in 2019 will explore the future of safety in times of growth and demand. Attendees will hear from experts and safety professionals from across the Australian and international rail sectors in a comprehensive 2-day conference featuring case studies, best practice insights and innovative risk management strategies.
