“Safety Information Management System” launched for voluntary disclosures of safety hazards by railway men

All out effort are being undertaken to ensure safety in rail operation as per directive of the Railway Minister. As a part of the initiative, Ministry of Railways has developed a web based platform called “Safety Information Management System (SIMS)” to further emphasize the need for Safety First Culture.

As a part of the initiative staff are encouraged as well as rewarded for voluntary disclosure of any unsafe practices / occurrences. For voluntary reporting the required confidentiality is maintained so as to encourage employees to voluntary report safety hazard, safety risks, potential hazardous conditions, unsafe practices, and inadvertent errors. There is also provision to upload images or a document while reporting safety hazards.
In the SIMS home page, a hyperlink is available under “Voluntary Safety Reporting” through which an employee can report any unsafe practices / occurrences either in the form of a confidential report or anonymous report. In both cases o­n submitting the hazard information, system will automatically generate a unique 13 digit hazard id and the status of the action taken report can also be viewed by the hazard reporting employee through the hyperlink Hazard Status.

Chief Safety Officers of each Zonal Railways will act as a nodal officer of the system, who will forward the same to the concerned department, Division or Railway Board for prompt necessary action.
