Risk Management (CSM RA)

Risk Management (CSM RA) – Common Safety Method

Risk Management (CSM RA – Common Safety Method for Risk Assessment) is the common safety method mandated by the European Union for the identification, analysis, evaluation and reduction to an acceptable level of safety risks in railway systems. The CSM RA process is carried out in line with the regulations and guidance published by the European Union Agency for Railways (ERA) and is legally binding in the railway sector.

As SI Global, we provide ERA-compliant CSM RA risk assessment and consultancy services to infrastructure managers, railway undertakings and ECMs (Entities in Charge of Maintenance).

We treat risk management not as a standalone analysis exercise but as a dynamic structure that supports decision-making and is integrated with the Safety Management System (SMS). For every technical, operational or organisational change (CSM), we ensure that the safety level is preserved.
