Safety of Rail and Air Transports

Rail and air transport are caught in the area of conflict between cost-effectiveness and society’s high expectations regarding the safety and security of these means of transportation.

A systematic approach to risks and their acceptability is required in order to resolve this conflict of objectives.

The key tasks for us are:

  • Quantitative or qualitative risk analysis
  • Assessment of risks to people, the environment and property
  • Planning of safety and security precautions
  • Support for risk management

Our services range from general risk overviews in complete systems down to detailed analyses of sub-issues. The search for cost-effective solutions is always to the fore in order to ensure efficient use of the available resources.

We prepare decision-making bases for operators and owners of transport facilities and companies, and for official Swiss and foreign organisations.
