DEVELOPMENT OF KEY COMPONENTS OF A TRAFFIC SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AT AN ENTERPRISE OF RAIL TRANSPORT AREAS

The development of essential elements of the traffic safety management system for Ukrainian railway transport companies is the focus of this essay. A thorough examination of the process for developing a technological risk classifier — a crucial instrument in the safety management system — receives special attention. Systematizing the causes and analyzing the risks of transport incidents that are specific to railway transport forms the basis of the technique. The authors provided a detailed plan for creating a classifier that covers defining risky things and topics, locations where hazardous situations arise, and the many kinds of risks and their effects.The suggestion to modify this classifier to fit the particulars of any railway enterprise's operations is a significant addition of the work. As the foundation for the successful implementation of the traffic safety management system, the article also examines the problem of putting risk management into practice, creating a safety policy, and outlining the responsibilities of top management and staff. Procedures for internal audits and the significance of establishing a safety culture in businesses are explained. The created technique gives businesses the tools they need to build safety management systems, lowering risks and raising overall traffic safety.The article's examples show how the classifier can be integrated into a specific enterprise's management system, taking into account organizational, technical, and resource characteristics. The implementation of such an approach allows for increased compliance with regulatory documents and international standards in the field of railway transport. The study's findings may be helpful to risk management specialists as well as those who are developing the regulatory framework for transport safety. Special attention is paid to the implementation of a risk classifier that takes into account the actual conditions of the functioning of railway enterprises.Therefore, the article's suggestions offer a realistic and empirical foundation for future enhancements to Ukraine's railway traffic safety management system.
