Pippa Trahant

Head of Health and Safety for the Regional Transport Sector

After a degree in Civil Engineering and French in the UK and a first work placement in bridge and tunnelling design, I joined the SNCF in the Infrastructure Sector, holding a variety of jobs from signaller, track, signalling and catenary maintenance, project and contract management, manager of a track design department. I have recently joined the Headquarters of the Region Express Transport Sector. I specialise in promoting the transformation of the Safety Culture amongst the regional Business Units and am currently following the Professionalisation in Human and Organisational Factors in Safety Culture course 

A Network of HOF Experts to support the transformation of Safety Culture (with Florence Magnin-Lot) 

In a first part, we will quickly present the SNCF Group organisation. We will then explain why and how we decided to create a HOF network as part of our safety culture program. In this part, we will focus on the training and the missions of our HOF specialists. And finally, we will present the deployment of the HOF specialists within the Regional Transport Sector, their contribution to increasing awareness amongst managers and providing operational methods, with an operational manager giving his practical point of view of our HOF network. 

The SNCF Group offers different solutions of mobility for passenger and freight transport, and logistics solutions in France and abroad.
