Improving safety in maintenance of the railway system by reducing latent errors – a way forward?
The company INFRANORD AB in Sweden works with production and maintenance of the railway system in Sweden. Risks and violations of safety rules have been observed by the organisation and a project was started 2010 with the aim to improve safety. The project was led by researchers from Luleå Universit...
