Abstract

Railway works on or near the line, or trackside works, typically have high potential of accidents, as the works have to be frequently performed during the train operation. In order to reduce the risks associated with the railway trackside works effectively, a systematic risk assessment must be performed considering the hazards that contribute to the accidents. In this study, hazards are identified for railway trackside works by analysing data from Korea Railroad for accidents that have occurred between the year of 2000 and 2006. The hazard list produced in this study is expected to be effectively used for the risk assessment of the trackside works.
