Abstract

The purpose of Overall Railroad Safety Audit(ORSA) is to prevent railroad accidents, and, every two years, to inspect and evaluate whether or not railroad operators faithfully adhere to railroad safety guidelines in accordance with the Railroad Safety Law. However despite of the many contributions of ORSA, due to lots of railroad accidents such as train failures and derailment caused track irregularity this year, it has been recently considered that ORSA will be renewed into Safety Certificates System as a complement. In order to guarantee railroad safety, new Safety Certificates must included appropriate safety standards considering current our country's railroad conditions. Therefore, in this study we're going to compare safety components of foreign audit system with those of Airlines field, based on ORSA's contents for years, to review Safety Management System and Safety Culture, as a result, we'd like to suggest to updated Railway Safety Standards.
