Operation Lifesaver’s Railroad Investigation and Safety Course (RISC)

Operation Lifesaver’s Railroad Investigation and Safety Course (RISC) was developed for the North American first responder community by the nation’s railroad police and Operation Lifesaver, Inc. The RISC prepares you to use the proper safety techniques while responding to or investigating a grade crossing collision or trespasser incident, in addition to maintaining on-scene safety unique to the railroad environment.

RISC provides critical information allowing first responders to effectively and safely respond to and investigate incidents involving the railroad. Railroad Investigation and Safety Course (RISC) is offered at the Basic (1- hour), Intermediate (2-hour) and Advanced (4-hour) levels.

Training is open to all First Responders.
