Risk can be brought down to an acceptablelevel by controlling the factors of known dangers.Risk and safety, both the words are very much connected to each other. Freedom fromrisk is achieved by safety. Risk consideration is must if one wants to achieve safety.

Every working system now-a-days have the safety and security protocols inorder to avoid every kind of risks. The topic discussed here is the safety and risk managementin train systems (Glendon, Clarke & McKenna, 2016).The purpose of this study is to investigate a train accident and find evidences relatedto safety breaches and risks. An assessment is made on safety and risk management to helpthis report.Safety and Risk Management:Both the terms are correlated with each other.
