This webinar panel session follows the previous webinar that took place on the 28th April on the lessons learned from 10 years of using the CSMRA and includes the additional perspectives from an Assessment Body.
The objective of this webinar is to continue to review the use of the CSMRA over the last 10 years from the perspective of the Rail Industry, a National Safety Authority (Regulator) and the European Rail Agency (ERA) and an Assessment Body in terms of what has been experienced and what lessons have been learned.
The webinar is presented by:
