RailFirst Safety
A Demonstrated Culture of Accountability & Care
Safe every day, in every way. At Rail First, safety isn’t just a policy—it’s a mindset. We are dedicated to the wellbeing of our employees, contractors, customers, and the communities where our trains run. Safety is central to everything we do.
We focus on safety by using clear guidelines and best practices in all our operations. This includes rolling stock maintenance, leasing, site safety, and risk management. Our structured safety framework includes:
✔ Strict operational protocols to minimise risks in rail transport and maintenance
✔ Employee training & clear work guidelines for safe equipment handling
✔ Regular safety audits & compliance tracking to ensure the highest standards
Measuring & Improving Safety Performance
We hold ourselves accountable through measurable targets and transparent reporting, tracking key metrics such as:
- Total Reportable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) – monitoring and reducing workplace incidents
- Annual Safety Culture Index – assessing and enhancing safety engagement across our workforce
By continuously improving our approach, investing in the latest safety technologies, and fostering a safety-first culture, we ensure that Rail First remains a trusted, responsible partner in Australia’s rail industry.
