    Description

    The RSJT is a Situational Judgement Test designed specifically for the railways. It is available online to assess how effectively your candidates will manage working in a safety critical role within a railway environment.

    For each scenario the candidate is presented with four options and has to put them in priority order with the best option first, then the next best option and so on. This allows you to objectively assess how your candidates are likely to respond in a given work situation.

    Here is an example of the type of scenario you will find in the RSJT:

    Example Situation

    You are driving as a train driver. You stop at a station and a customer comes running up to your cab and tells you that the back engine of the train is on fire. The engine you have been driving is prone to fires and recently another engine caught fire causing extensive damage to the train and the track with injuries to customers who were travelling on the train. What do you do?

    1. Make a PA announcement to the customers telling them to leave the train and station immediately, you then call the emergency services.

    2. You call the emergency services and then make a PA announcement telling customers to leave the train and station immediately.

    3. You go to the back engine to check out if it is on fire and if it is then you go back to the front cab and you make a PA announcement to customers telling them to leave the train and station immediately.

    4. You ask a station assistant on the station to go through the train and evacuate customers from the train and station whilst you call emergency services.
