“ANNEX I Common safety indicators

Common safety indicators (CSIs) shall be reported annually by the safety authorities defined in Article 3(g).

Indicators relating to activities referred to in Article 2(2), (a) and (b), should be accounted for separately, if they are submitted.

If new facts or errors are discovered after the submission of the report, the indicators for one particular year shall be amended or corrected by the safety authority at the first convenient opportunity and at the latest in the next annual report.

Common definitions for the CSIs and methods to calculate the economic impact of accidents are laid down in the Appendix.

1. Indicators relating to accidents

1.1. Total and relative (to train-kilometres) number of significant accidents and a break-down for the following types of accidents:

• collision of train with rail vehicle,

• collision of train with obstacle within the clearance gauge,

• derailment of train,

• level crossing accident, including accident involving pedestrians at level crossing, and a further break-down for the five types of level crossings defined in point 6.2,

• accident to persons involving rolling stock in motion, with the exception of suicides and attempted suicides,

• fire in rolling stock,

• other.

Each significant accident shall be reported under the type of the primary accident, even if the consequences of the secondary accident are more severe (e.g. a derailment followed by a fire).

1.2. Total and relative (to train-kilometres) number of persons seriously injured and killed by type of accident divided into the following categories:

• passenger (also relative to total passenger-kilometres and passenger train-kilometres),

• employee or contractor,

• level crossing user,

• trespasser,

• other person at a platform,

• other person not at a platform.

2. Indicators relating to dangerous goods

Total and relative (to train-kilometres) number of accidents involving the transport of dangerous goods by rail divided into the following categories:

• accident involving at least one railway vehicle transporting dangerous goods, as defined in the Appendix,

• number of such accidents in which dangerous goods are released.

3. Indicators relating to suicides

Total and relative (to train-kilometres) number of suicides and attempted suicides

4. Indicators relating to precursors of accidents

Total and relative (to train-kilometres) number of precursors to accidents and a break down on the following types of precursor:

• broken rail,

• track buckle and other track misalignment,

• wrong-side signalling failure,

• signal passed at danger when passing a danger point,

• signal passed at danger without passing a danger point,

• broken wheel on rolling stock in service,

• broken axle on rolling stock in service.

All precursors are to be reported, both those resulting and those not resulting in accidents. (A precursor resulting in a significant accident shall also be reported under indicators relating to precursors; a precursor not resulting in a significant accident shall only be reported under indicators relating to precursors).

5. Indicators to calculate the economic impact of accidents

Total in euro and relative (to train-kilometres):

• number of deaths and serious injuries multiplied by the Value of Preventing a Casualty (VPC),

• cost of damages to environment,

• cost of material damages to rolling stock or infrastructure,

• cost of delays as a consequence of accidents.

Safety authorities shall report the economic impact of significant accidents.

The VPC is the value society attributes to the prevention of a casualty and as such shall not form a reference for compensation between parties involved in accidents.

6. Indicators relating to technical safety of infrastructure and its implementation

6.1. Percentage of tracks with Train Protection Systems (TPSs) in operation and percentage of train-kilometres using on-board TPSs, where these systems provide:

• warning,

• warning and automatic stop,

• warning and automatic stop and discrete supervision of speed,

• warning and automatic stop and continuous supervision of speed.

6.2. Number of level crossings (total, per line kilometre and track kilometre) by the following five types:

(a)

passive level crossing

(b)

active level crossing:

(i)

manual,

(ii)

automatic with user-side warning,

(iii)

automatic with user-side protection,

(iv)

rail-side protected.
