ERA is proud to launch the Online SMS Guide, a practical, user-friendly tool to support railway undertakings, infrastructure managers, and safety authorities in developing and improving their safety management systems.
The Agency is proud to launch the Online SMS Guide, a practical, user-friendly tool designed to support railway undertakings, infrastructure managers, and national safety authorities in meeting the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2018/762 and Directive (EU) 2016/798.
Accessible to all without registration, this interactive guide helps applicants for a single safety certificate or safety authorisation understand the purpose behind each assessment requirement and identify the type of evidence that can support compliance.
The e-learning experience is built by automating navigation through the 2022 Safety Management System Guide, developed in collaboration with national safety authorities and sector experts. The guide offers examples, references, and practical insights to support the development and improvement of Safety Management Systems (SMS).
