Employees offered explanations for why they think suicidal people may choose the railway as their method and location of suicide, including environmental factors and access points. They suggested changes which can be implemented by the industry to discourage suicidal behaviours and increase help seeking behaviours. Employees identified that they need more support when managing and preventing railway suicides, including training, awareness and support from colleagues and outside agencies. The results of this study have demonstrated that some railway employees are willing to play a part in the prevention and management of railway suicides and learn how to identify warning signs, gain skills for interacting with people in crisis and make the railway a safer environment for staff and members of the public. To be able to do so effectively, there is need for the industry to devise and implement preventative initiatives which incorporate a collaborative approach with other agencies, in line with current National Suicide Prevention policies and guidance. This will better equip employees with the appropriate skills and resources, through clear interventions, protocols and partnership working, to safely manage people at risk. This should be considered in line with identified socio-environmental factors that contribute to individual''s choice of method of suicide as being the railway.
