Local and international rail experts will offer their insights at the 2021 Annual Rail Safety Conference to be held from September 29 to October 1, organised by South Africa’s Railway Safety Regulator.

Hosted under the theme “Embracing the new normal through innovative and sustainable rail safety solutions”, this year’s event will be held virtually, at no cost to delegates. 

“There is no doubt that the Covid-19 pandemic has changed how we interact and the way that we do business. The rail industry, like all others, has been impacted by the pandemic. However, this does not change the fact that as a rail regulator, we remain responsible for ensuring that our rail industry is well regulated and that the safety of rail service is improved,” says Mmuso Selaledi, acting CEO of the Railway Safety Regulator. 

Hosted annually, the event provides a platform for industry stakeholders to come together to exchange experiences, solutions and lessons for improving railway safety. 

Among the heavyweight line-up are Mmuso Selaledi; Johny Smith, CEO at TransNamib, Namibia and Alberto Ronchi, railway division chief designer at Lucchini Group, Italy.
