Rail level crossing near miss survey – In Australia there are over 20,000 rail level crossings.  With 76% of rail related accidents occurring at active crossings, simply upgrading crossings will not eliminate the death toll. While the Australian rail level crossing death toll is significant, there is a much larger data set that could be collected to help with preventing rail related accidents. That data set is near miss data. It is widely believed that near misses are under reported.

You are invited to participate in the rail level crossing near miss survey. This survey has been designed to better understand what a near miss is and what motivates train drivers to report near misses. This information aims to explore the train drivers construction of a near miss, what motivates train drivers to report near misses, and if organisational culture plays a role in reporting near misses.

The closing date for the survey is 30 June 2015.
