Abstract
Factors common to past accidents and incidents were identified by analyzing and summarizing background factors related to accidents and incidents caused by vehicle and equipment inspection and maintenance errors. As a result, measures for improving railway safety were classified. Reports on railway and aircraft accidents and serious incidents in Japan were analyzed, and their background factors were identified. Then, these factors were classified using the m-SHEL model. The results indicated that work environment-related factors were observed in 80% of the cases.
