FirstClass Safety & Control has been recognised as an official supporter of Rail Safety Week 2026, reflecting the company’s ongoing commitment to improving safety awareness, behaviours and culture across the rail industry.
Rail Safety Week brings organisations and individuals from across the railway together to share knowledge, promote best practice and reinforce the importance of safety throughout the industry.
FirstClass supported the initiative during 2026 and participated in the Rail Forum Rail Safety Week Conference in June, joining industry colleagues to discuss how collaboration, continuous learning and practical engineering solutions can contribute to safer railway operations.
For FirstClass, the principles promoted by Rail Safety Week extend beyond the annual campaign. Safety is embedded in the systems the company designs and delivers and in the way projects are engineered, managed and supported throughout their operational life.
With more than 25 years of safety and control systems experience, FirstClass provides Depot Protection Systems, Depot Control and Locally Operated Points Systems (LOPS), Personnel Warning Systems and electronic and trapped key Interlocking Solutions for rail depots, workshops and maintenance facilities.
Managing Director Mark Meyrick said:
“I’d like to thank everyone involved in making Rail Safety Week 2026 such a success. It was another excellent opportunity for the industry to come together, share knowledge and reinforce the behaviours that keep our people safe.”
“We’re proud to support this important initiative, but more importantly, we’re committed to applying its principles every day of the year. Safety is at the heart of our business, and together we can continue building an even stronger safety culture across the railway.”
The recognition as an official supporter reinforces FirstClass’s wider commitment to protecting people, assets and infrastructure through engineering, collaboration and continuous improvement.
