Higher requirements in all areas of safety
The requirements for the reliability and safety of railroad systems on the global market are constantly increasing. The CENELEC safety standards EN 50126 (IEC 62278), EN 50716 (formerly EN 50128), EN 50129 (IEC 62425) and EN 50159 require companies to ensure that persons familiar with functional safety have a sufficient level of competence and qualification. In the rail technology sector, there is an urgent need for trained personnel on the job market who can demonstrate their competence and professionalism through appropriate qualifications.
The Rail Safety Campus offers all experts from the rail sector a platform for exchanging information on safety issues and provides the necessary specialist knowledge of rail standards for functional safety in its Rail Safety Engineer training course.
The modular training course combines theoretical principles of standards content, methods and technologies with practical application examples. The modules can be booked individually or as a complete course. After participating in all modules and successfully passing the exams, the participant receives the Rail Safety Engineer certificate. In addition to the core aspects of functional safety in the rail sector, the Rail Safety Engineer training course provides participants with an overview of the standards and other relevant regulations. One focus is on the legal aspects of approval. Due to changes to the content of the Rail Safety Engineer course, certification is limited to three years and then requires re-certification. This enables specialists to keep up to date with rail safety issues.
After completing the training and successfully passing an examination, the Rail Safety Engineer certification is extended by a further three years.
The Rail Safety Engineer training enables each participant to plan and guide development projects in accordance with the standards and other requirements and to apply the requirements in their role in the development process.
In addition, each participant receives a recognized and verifiable qualification with their Rail Safety Engineer personal certificate, which proves the required, special knowledge and skills in the field of functional safety.
