Synergi® helps secure Norwegian State Railways
As one of Norway's most important transport companies, the NSB Group (Norwegian State Railways) is systematically and purposefully working to improve safety measures. Synergi® is one of the basic tools for those involved in this work.
”Synergi® is a brilliant tool for reporting, processing, analysis, and administration/planning of traffic safety matters. It helps us visualise the necessity of our work with minimising risk, internally as well as reporting to external bodies, like the National Rail Administration.”
Mr. Haakon Bakken, Traffic Safety Manager.

Synergi Solutions AS and NSB have been cooperating for ten years to develop and adjust the system to suit the particular needs of a big company continually dealing with safety on many levels.
The cooperation is described as an effective teamwork, Synergi Solutions' consultants being very clever and service minded.

This includes planning and managing emergency exercises and the over all training of staff to reduce operational risk.
