ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS
We believe ALL accidents and injuries are preventable. However, when they occur everyone involved deserves prompt and accurate analysis of the incident – with one primary goal being prevention of recurrences.

- Applicable rules & regulations
- Locomotives & rolling stock
- Engineering & environmental
- Signal & control systems
- Previous safety performance
- Event & performance recorders
- Formal root cause analysis
- RAIL REPLAY accident recreation and simulation technology
We employ the latest techniques in forensics, photo-interpretation, digital mapping, computer visualization and animation to concisely explain and reconstruct accidents and the events leading to them.
