How are HSE leaders in the rail industry leveraging Synergi Life?

ProRail, the infrastructure manager of the Dutch railway network, uses Synergi Life software to enhance railway safety. Initially, ProRail employed Synergi Life for incident and inspection management, which allowed them to register data on incidents, audits, and inspections comprehensively. This system enabled ProRail to gain better control over investigation results and safety improvement initiatives.

railway workerProRail's Policy Advisor, Bart Hoogcarspel, recognized the potential of bowtie modeling within the rail industry and integrated it into their safety management practices. This approach helped visualize complex safety risks and facilitated management's decision-making process. ProRail is now working on connecting incidents directly to bowtie diagrams in Synergi Life to further enhance their Barrier Management program.
