The main objective of all safety mitigations is the improvement of transit system <br /> safety. The mechanism for monitoring safety risk mitigations varies depending on the mitigation. OCPT's <br /> Operations Manager and OCPT's Safety Committee monitor operations to identify mitigations that may be <br /> ineffective, inappropriate, or not implemented as intended. <br /> When performance goals are not met, OCPT will work to identify why such goals were not met and what actions <br /> can be taken to minimize the gap in achieving defined goals. <br /> • Identify why the mitigations were unsuccessful <br /> o Identify unrealistic expectations that may have been hampering process <br /> o GAP analysis <br /> • Create new mitigation strategies <br /> • Help make informed resource allocation decisions <br /> • Identify improvements <br /> • Reassessment <br /> OCPT maintains documented procedures for conducting safety investigations of events (accidents, incidents, <br /> and occurrences, as defined by FTA).
