A New Model For Rail Risk
From Assumed Risk Control to Evidence-Based Assurance.
TRACCS Assurance & Insurance is a new co-branded program developed for the Canadian rail sector, combining independently verified supplier assurance with rail-specific insurance expertise.
Powered by Achilles and B Smart Insurance, the program is designed to help rail organizations better evidence contractor and supplier risk, support more informed underwriting, and create a clearer connection between how risk is managed and how it is insured.

From Assumed Risk Control to Evidence-Based Assurance.
Rail operators, agencies, contractors, and suppliers manage complex risk every day. The challenge is proving that risk is being controlled in a way that insurers, project owners, and other stakeholders can clearly understand.
TRACCS Assurance & Insurance brings assurance and insurance together in one coordinated program. Supplier compliance, competence, and performance can be independently verified, creating a clearer picture of contractor and supply chain risk. That insight can then support more informed insurance assessment, better differentiation between well-managed and higher-risk operations, and stronger long-term risk outcomes for the Canadian rail market.

- Audited safety and management systems
- Competence and capability verification
- Ongoing supplier monitoring
- Centralized supplier risk visibility

By using clearer assurance data, the program supports more accurate risk assessment and coverage that better reflects how risk is actually managed.

- Tailored coverage based on actual risk profile
Clearer Evidence. Better Risk Visibility. More Informed Insurance.
