Rail Safety Week
Rail Safety Week (RSW) is a TrackSAFE initiative which is now in its 14th year. RSW aims to improve education and awareness around railway level crossing and track safety.
Over the years, more and more rail organisations have become involved in this community education initiative by visiting schools, holding competitions, running advertising campaigns, and ultimately increasing awareness of the importance of rail safety. Each year, rail participants target specific rail safety areas to increase safety within the communities that they work within.
RSW is effective in raising awareness and knowledge in Australasian communities about the potentially devastating consequences of not exercising caution or obeying the rules around railways and tram networks.
The next Rail Safety Week will be held 10 - 16 August 2020
