The past two installments of this series have focused on the hardware and technologies that have been used in the battle against derailments. This third and final article focuses on the softer side of the campaign: the human element. The article identifies a systematic, corporate approach, as well as a specific person or team assigned with accountability, as essential for successful identification of derailment causes and corrective action for them.
