The Annual Rail Safety Conference (ARSC) is a conducive forum for rail stakeholders to engage and collaborate on endeavours that will create safe, efficient and reliable solutions to address the emerging risks within the South African railway industry and beyond.

Hosted by the Railway Safety Regulator (RSR) under the theme “GEARING UP FOR SAFER RAIL IN 2030”, this year’s conference will be held in Cape Town on the 10th and 11th of October 2022 and will feature presentations from local and international rail experts from various disciplines.
