SABC News reports that the Rail Safety Regulator says it is committed to achieving the highest level of safety for passenger and freight rail in the country.
Issues affecting safety came under discussion at the annual Rail Safety Conference in Stellenbosch. It was reported that during the period under review, there had been a slightly negative impact in safety-related occurrences. Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Railway Safety Regulator, Mmuso Selaledi, pointed out that regulator has five focus areas. “So, we as a Railway Safety Regulator, it is one of our focus areas, we have five. One would be collisions on a running line. Another one would be derailments. One would be people struck by trains. Level crossings is one where you would have motorists at a level crossing struck by a train. And the other one is what we call platform train interface, when you are on the station platform and you slip between the platform and the train and there is some sort of incident. But in the main it tells us we are not where we want to be,” Selaledi explained.
