The Australasian Railway Association (ARA) skills report sets out the issues facing the global rail industry in the coming years in terms of skills fade. Read more here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/esCG9jRa Have you considered how this will impact your training strategies and how you can mitigate the risk?

Through the National Rail Skills Hub, the National Transport Commission is working to make it easier for people to enter the rail industry and have skills recognised across Australia. Right now, there are 18 networks in Australia’s rail system, each with their own set of operating rules and practices. This has led to disparities in training and testing procedures. It’s an added burden for people who work across networks, and expensive for organisations who train them. We’re working to even out these differences and harmonise training and onboarding processes. It’s all part of the National Action Plan (NRAP) to make our rail system, simpler, safer and better. Read more about NRAP and how recommendations from the recent Rail Safety National Law review are paving the way for national competencies and operating rules recognised by all Australian rail transport operators. https://shorturl.at/7llKG

Poland is hosting representatives of European control services for the second time as part of the training activities conducted by the ECR EGTC Technical Roadside Inspections and Cargo Securing Subgroup (TECHCA). The previous workshops took place in Radom (Poland) in 2022. The workshop, chaired by Krzysztof Nowak, Chairman of the TECHCA, was officially opened by Joanna Sękala, President of ECR EGTC. Among the speakers who will be conducting the workshop are experts from Poland, Denmark and Belgium. 🌍 Participants: Road transport inspectors and police officers from Ireland, Denmark, Belgium, Hungary, Poland, Austria, the Netherlands, Croatia, Romania, and Portugal. Today, participants delved into critical topics such as emission fraud, checking brake systems with diagnostic devices, and new regulations for cargo securing. These sessions aim to provide in-depth knowledge and practical skills to improve inspection practices across Europe. The workshop offers a valuable opportunity for participants to learn from leading experts and share best practices, fostering stronger international cooperation in road transport safety. We look forward to the continued exchange of insights and experiences over the next two days. 📚🔍 #ECR #EuroControleRoute #TECHCA #TrainingWorkshops #RoadsideInspections #TransportSafety #InternationalCooperation #ECREGTC #PolishPresidency2024

Last week (September 23rd to 27th), we carried out two modules of our International Certificate in Port, Waterway Transport, and Multimodal Management, commissioned by ITL - Instituto de Transporte e Logística of Brazilian CNT - Confederação Nacional do Transporte. This time, the topics covered were Port Management and Waterway Infrastructure, with instructors Adson Hofman, Harrie de Leijer and Richard van Liere. Our representative in Brazil, Daniel Breda and Albert Bos, were also present and delivered a message about the upcoming international module in 2025. This course is evolving into a valuable platform for the exchange of ideas and expertise and will undoubtedly yield significant benefits for the Brazilian port and inland navigation sectors. We are proud to be leading this initiative. #lifelonglearning #Waterway #Transport #Multimodal #Management

ALE - Federation of European Train Drivers Unions highlights the value of our profession at the European level. We participated in the “Human Factor & Organisational Factors Conference 2024”, organised by European Union Agency for Railways, where safety-related professions, such as #train drivers, which are highly relevant in the railway sector, were one of the main focuses of the event. The implementation of a Just Safety #Culture and the #integration of human and organisational factors, within the organisations, is key to improve Safety Management Systems and competencies, in order to achieve #positive performances in the sector. ————————————————— Clarisse Lagaize Davoine Alejandro M.
