Abstract Driver performance and the attention the driver pays to the primary task of operating trains safely have been shown to decrease because of driver distraction and inattention. This paper presents the factors associated with driver distraction and inattention within the South African railway environment, current interventions utilized by South African railways and the impact these interventions have on driver distraction. This paper also stresses the need to conduct future research into driver distraction in order to mitigate the contribution of driver distraction and inattention to railway occurrences experienced in South Africa.
