SAFETYFirst Presentation outline History Barriers Cross border operation by DSBFirst Challenges Concluding remarks 2

SAFETYFirst Cross border operation in Scandinavia in a historical perspective • Cross border operation without changing of staff has existed between Sweden and Norway since 1993. • Between Sweden and Denmark since 2000. • The national railway company in the countries involved has had the responsibility for the safety on its part of the border. • The difficulties have among other things been  Different traffic rules  Different signal systems  Different languages  Different current/voltage crossing Öresund 3

SAFETYFirst Barriers • Technical barrier: • ATC • Immaterial barriers: • Education taking charge of similarities in respective operating system and focusing on differences • Restrictions in operating rules, for instance low speed in case ATC should stop functioning (under revaluation) • A language model is being used to avoid missunderstanding. 4

SAFETYFirst Challenges • Unite two traffic systems • Two safety management systems • Three sets of infrastructure rules • Company language • Company culture • Company traffic rules Key word - Simplicity 9

SAFETYFirst Concluding remarks ”One company one operation” Better control of the operation ”All staff” operates everywhere More dynamic/flexible operation Less monotonous for the staff Opportunities for the staff to develop their skills The most important conclusion The safety level has not been negatively effected 10
