The Short Line Safety Institute (SLSI) is dedicated to the continuous improvement of safety and safety culture across all short line, regional, passenger, commuter, historic, and tourism railroads in the United States (i.e., “targeted railroads”). Strengthening a railroad’s safety culture may result in less frequent or severe accidents and create a safer working environment. SLSI defines safety culture as the shared values, actions, and behaviors that demonstrate a commitment to safety over competing goals and demands, based on the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Safety Council’s safety culture definition (Morrow & Coplen, 2017).
