Thank you for the question.
Railway companies have more than one obligation in that regard. First, they must develop rail safety management system according to the 2015 rules. Second, they have an obligation to implement all plans included in their rail safety management system.
With the new SMS regulations that were put in place in 2015, there are multiple points of accountability, and if a company fails to deliver on that accountability, as conditions warrant and as facts warrant, there is an ability to go from inspections and oversight to an enforcement process that could result, for example, in administrative monetary penalties.
