Decreases in Collision Risk and Derailments Attributed to Changing At-Risk Behavior Process at Union Pacific, Research Results

摘要

Changing At-Risk Behavior (CAB) is a safety process that is being conducted at Union Pacific's San Antonio Service Unit (SASU) with the aim of improving road and yard safety. CAB is an example of a proactive safety risk-reduction method, called Clear Signal for Action (CSA), by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) Human Factors Program within the Office of Research and Development. CSA combines behavior-based safety, continuous improvement, and safety leadership development. With sponsorship from FRA, Behavioral Science Technology, Inc., is instructing and advising on the implementation of CAB.
