COMET is proud to announce a new training partnership with the Railway Industry Association (RIA), strengthening our shared commitment to improving safety, leadership, and learning across the UK rail supply sector.

As an approved RIA training partner, COMET now offers RIA members exclusive access to IOSH accredited and specialist safety training, with a 10 percent discount available across selected courses.

RIA represents a diverse and highly skilled rail supply community. This partnership brings practical, credible training closer to organisations operating in safety critical and highly regulated environments.

Exclusive benefits for RIA members

Through this partnership, RIA members can claim 10 percent off COMET training courses, accessed via a discount code provided by the RIA Member Relations team.

This offers rail organisations a cost-effective way to strengthen safety capability, improve investigation quality, and develop confident leaders, while benefiting from recognised accreditation and industry relevant expertise.

COMET training available to RIA members

All COMET training is designed and delivered by experienced investigators, safety professionals, and learning specialists with deep understanding of high risk operations, including rail.

IOSH accredited safety management training

COMET delivers IOSH accredited programmes that support leaders and managers in taking meaningful ownership of safety. These courses focus on real world decision making, accountability, and understanding risk within complex operational systems.

Participants gain internationally recognised certification alongside practical skills they can apply immediately.

Incident investigation and root cause analysis training

COMET investigation training equips teams with a structured, evidence led approach to understanding why incidents occur and how to prevent them from happening again.

The training aligns with the COMET methodology and is well suited to rail environments where incidents often involve multiple factors, contractors, and interfaces.

Behavioural safety programmes

COMET behavioural safety programmes focus on how behaviour is shaped by systems, leadership, and working conditions. Rather than relying on generic models, we work with organisations to address the real influences on behaviour in operational settings.

These programmes support long term cultural improvement rather than short term fixes.

Safety leadership development

Effective safety performance depends on confident leadership at every level. COMET leadership programmes help leaders understand their role in shaping culture, managing risk, and responding constructively when things go wrong.

Training is interactive, scenario based, and grounded in real operational challenges.

Supporting the rail supply sector

While COMET works across a range of high-risk industries, our training is highly relevant to the rail supply chain. We understand the demands of assurance, investigation quality, multi party working, and regulatory scrutiny.

Through our partnership with RIA, we are supporting members with training that is practical, credible, and aligned with the realities of rail operations.

Interested in COMET training?

If you are an RIA member looking to strengthen safety management, investigation capability, or leadership confidence, COMET can help you explore the most suitable training options for your organisation.

Our team is available to discuss your requirements and guide you through the next steps. To access the exclusive RIA member discount, contact the RIA Member Relations team for your discount code before booking.

We look forward to supporting RIA members in building safer, more resilient rail operations.
