Despite constant efforts to improve safety in the railway environment, various accidents and incidents happen, resulting in material damage and in the worst case, loss of human lives. This article emphasises the need for proper identification of risks, their constant monitoring, and evaluation of all causes that arise at railway crossings. Furthermore, this paper aims to apply the Reason model to the problems of railway crossings within the case study on the railway network in Slovakia. The timeliness of the problem lies in the possibility of preventing such issues in the operation of rail transport using this model. Prevention is an effective way of averting the serious consequences of accidents in the future.

Providing rail transport with qualified personnel has traditionally been in the realm of close attention. Modern realities dictate the need to search for and implement effective tools for the interaction of the education system and employers, which can influence the training of personnel.Thanks to the development of the national qualifications system in Russia, employers and the education system have received effective tools for interaction in the form of professional and public accreditation and independent qualifications assessment, which allow taking into account the requirements of employers, current trends and technologies of production organization, and assess willingness of students to perform specific labor functions in accordance with approved professional standards.Rail transport has been actively involved in the implementation of elements of the national qualifications system, including professional and public accreditation and independent assessment of qualifications. The implementation of these measures should become an important mechanism in improving the professional level of railway workers and building an effective barrier for people who are not ready for responsible work in this area.The considered tools of the national qualifications system contribute to the formation of responsible interaction of all stakeholders in the quality of learning outcomes.
