The author’s duo specializing in the issues of safety management in rail transport with exorbitant and practical achievements is a guarantee of the scientific level of the texts. The authors of the monographs are also known from many other publications in the professional literature. The reviewed monograph gave them the opportunity to deepen and expand some of the missiles, as well as time for the texts of many new key issues, previously quite modestly presented in the scientific literature on rail transport.
When assessing the layout of the monograph in the metro system, and in particular the portable layout, it can be established that it is, in principle, recommended from the point of view of the entire publishing system, consisting in showing, in particular, to the recipients from economic practice the entire railway sector, which should be beneficial for the management of safety and maintenance processes in rail transport. (…)
The authors made a very large, innovative own contribution to the preparation of individual fragments of the publication. Therefore, the book is to a very large extent an original scientific work, where in each part of it you can see the authors’ own work. It can be added that the Polish literature on the subject does not include such an extensive and comprehensive monograph covering the issues of safety and maintenance management in rail transport.
Prof. Juliusz Engelhardt, Ubiversity of Szczecin
I am glad that the publication by Marek Jabłoński and Adam Jabłoński on “Mechanisms of effective safety management in rail transport” was published, which perfectly fits the current needs of the railway market, answering many questions that its participants ask themselves every day. is a comprehensive source of information for railway specialists, with special attention should be paid to the impressive number of source materials used by the authors and the time of the study.
An additional advantage of this publication is the didactic and illustrative material it contains and many practical solutions used in the implementation of safety management systems and maintenance management systems, and its attractiveness is increased by the use of understandable and legible language, which is not easy to achieve in such studies. The above-mentioned factors and the authors’ experience make the monograph a must-read for those involved in the development of the safety management system. In my opinion, the book is a perfect complement to the activities of the Railway Transport Office within the UTK Academy, aimed at increasing the awareness of rail market participants in the area of safety management systems. This is undoubtedly another step towards the development of a security culture in Poland.
Congratulations to the authors of the result achieved, and I wish you a pleasant reading.

The publication broadly describes the scope and methodology of research on the mechanisms of effective management of railway sidings, as well as issues related to high efficiency in the management of complex technical facilities. The issues of project management and process management, investment management issues, as well as the issue of business models for complex technical facilities, such as railway sidings, were taken into account. Legal aspects are presented, the characteristics of which are necessary for a full understanding of the operation of railway sidings, the issues of maintaining the expected safety level on railway sidings, as well as the process of obtaining a safety certificate for railway sidings and the documentation required for the operation of railway sidings.
The book presents a number of solutions that define the scope of practical analyzes aimed at improving the efficiency of railway siding work, and includes practical solutions useful for railway siding managers and proposals for an approach to improving the efficiency of railway siding work, as well as a proprietary methodology for managing projects to improve the efficiency of railway siding work.
In Poland, despite the significant importance of siding in supply chains, little space has been devoted to them in scientific publications. The authors of the research on the effective management of these complex technical objects should be considered justified. The monograph to a large extent fills the existing gap, both in terms of theoretical and application considerations. (…) The presented concept may be a starting point for further considerations on methods and instruments for improving the effectiveness of railway sidings. (…) The original concept of improving the efficiency of railway sidings against the background of endogenous and exogenous conditions is a significant contribution to the theory of management and quality sciences, as well as civil engineering and transport.

Safety management in rail transport has been developing particularly dynamically in recent years. Expenditure on improving security issues is stimulated by social expectations as well as political and economic goals. The book is a source of knowledge necessary to shape a mature safety culture in railway companies.
It analyzes, among others:
- essence of organizational culture in terms of safety culture
- definitions, types and models of safety culture in theoretical terms
- the role of organizational human factors in shaping the safety culture in rail transport
- the role of safety culture in minimizing railway incidents and accidents at work.
It also provides the reader with practical tools to implement the core values that enhance the quality of rail safety management.
“The book presented for review is a coherent work (…). According to the authors, this work fills the knowledge gap regarding the place and role of safety culture as well as the human and organizational factor in the processes of improving safety management systems in rail transport, and it is difficult to disagree with the authors here. This monograph should help managers improve the quality of management of railway undertakings. It can also be used as reading material that extends the knowledge of students of technical and economic universities studying railways. (…) In the work presented for evaluation one can see an experimental, original and creative, but also theoretical and recreational workshop. The prepared study, thanks to the accumulation of research and source material, enables independent studies in the field of the discussed issues. (…) The most important issue is to present the proprietary model of shaping the safety culture in rail transport and the proprietary model of safety culture measurement. (…) In conclusion, it should be considered that the material presented for evaluation in the form of a monograph is interesting and may constitute an indication for further research and development “.
“The safety of Polish rail transport is a supreme value – a key condition for the sustainable development of the rail industry. There is no question of safety without the awareness of the safety culture in each organization, and consequently – in the entire railway system. Importantly, the safety culture, along with the entry into force of the provisions of the 4th Railway Package, also becomes a legal requirement for railway companies. The pillar of the safety culture is, among others proactive approach to security issues. This approach is based on a properly applied risk management process, including the use of knowledge and competence to identify hazards and implement adequate risk control measures. In this aspect, the influence of the human and organizational factors in building the meaning of the safety culture becomes so important. The need to undertake an in-depth analysis of the impact of the human factor on the safety of rail transport is evidenced by the significant share of the impact of human activities and behavior on the accident rate of this transport mode. Monograph “Mechanisms of shaping the safety culture in rail transport. The human and organizational factor “by prof. Associate professor Adam Jabłoński and prof. Associate professor Marek Jabłoński not only provides the reader with the theoretical foundations necessary to shape a mature safety culture in railway companies, but also equips practical tools and mechanisms to implement the basic values that make up the contemporary safety culture in rail transport.
This publication is part of the concept of safety culture, developed by the President of the Office of Rail Transport since 2016, set out in the Declaration on the development of safety in rail transport “.
Railway Safety Culture Model. Theory and Practical Implications
Table of Contents - Railway Safety Culture Model. Theory and Practical Implications
The content, concepts, methods and techniques presented in the monograph are holistic, as the issue of railway traffic safety is holistic. The authors referred to numerous literature sources and practical conditions to thoroughly explain the determinants of the mechanisms of shaping safety culture in rail transport. In the authors’ opinion, this work fills the knowledge gap in the place and role of safety culture as well as human and organizational factors in the processes of improving safety management systems in rail transport. It also analyzes the impact of technical aspects on the behavior of employees in the railway system. In particular, in the context of technical solutions, it refers to the effective use of railway traffic control devices and the principles of rail traffic control, assessed in terms of human and organizational factors. It should help managers improve the quality of railway undertaking management.
(…) “The work is a kind of compendium of knowledge of the possibilities of the practical implementation of increasing the level of safety in rail traffic on the European Union market, using the theoretical achievements of management sciences, with emphasis on the importance of safety culture. I think the work is exceptional. Its uniqueness lies in the skillful combination of the elements of management theory and practice with the specific requirements of the railway sector. It integrates the issues of safety culture with the achievements related to current documents at the European Union level, in line with the assumptions of the 4th Railway Package. It should be emphasized that the authors’ original model of shaping and measuring safety culture in rail transport has been developed. This innovative model is applicable to railway undertakings at the European level and can also be used to build models of railway undertakings at the national level. The interdisciplinarity of the model fosters the transfer of knowledge and technology in rail transport, emphasizing the need to build a positive safety culture for both railway undertakings and the entire railway system. In its assumptions, this model takes into account both economic and social impacts. This impact results not only from spreading practices or behaviors, but also encourages the exchange of experiences, involving entities operating on the railway market and individual stakeholders. This influence may be manifested in the reaction of institutions responsible for safety in railway traffic, both at the European Union and national levels. It can also refer to the involvement of people dealing with the theory and practice of management in the field of improving safety management systems, influencing development and the increase in interest in this subject.” (…).
