Background: Bystanders can play a key role in preventing railway suicides by taking direct action or by raising an alarm. Aims: The study investigated in this context: (1) the prevalence of preventative actions by bystanders; (2) the relationship, if any, between first-hand preventions by bystanders and the degree of ambiguity around the imminence of danger; and (3) the nature of first-hand preventions by bystanders. Method: Data were obtained from a security reporting database at Sydney Trains for 2011\u20132019 for accident and suicide-related incidents ( N = 1,278). Results: In 635 cases of suicide prevention, bystanders were identified as first responders in 11% of cases and as raising the alarm in 11% of cases. Bystanders as first responders intervened proportionally more where the ambiguity of danger is low (jumping) compared with high (sitting, standing, wandering). Of the 69 cases of bystander preventions, 77% involved physical interaction (e.g., holding back) and 49% involved more than one bystander. Limitations: The data source could be biased because of incompleteness or nonstandard reporting. Conclusion: Rail policy-makers should consider education and support for bystanders and staff: for example, by making known the prevalence of helping, the importance of intervening, and what types of intervention are most helpful. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1027\/0227-5910\/a000804","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,18]],"date-time":"2021-08-18T11:02:43Z","timestamp":1629284563000},"page":"412-418","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["The Role of Bystanders in the Prevention of Railway Suicides in New                     South Wales, Australia"],"prefix":"10.1027","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"Nguyen Viet","family":"Ngo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research School of Management, Australian                     National University, Canberra, ACT, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0686-8674","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Shirley D.","family":"Gregor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research School of Management, Australian                     National University, Canberra, ACT, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gary","family":"Beavan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Transport for NSW, Haymarket, Sydney, NSW,                         Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bianca","family":"Riley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Transport for NSW, Haymarket, Sydney, NSW,                         Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"101","reference":[{"key":"c1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aap.2015.05.017"},{"key":"c2","volume-title":"Causes of death, Australia, 2009\u20132018","author":"Australian Bureau of Statistics","year":"2019"},{"key":"c3","volume-title":"National, state and territory population","author":"Australian Bureau of Statistics","year":"2019"},{"key":"c4","volume-title":"Fatality intelligence assessment","author":"Beavan G.","year":"2016"},{"key":"c5","volume-title":"Response ability: A complete guide to bystander intervention","author":"Berkowitz A.
