Aspects relate to providing a device, method, and system for train safety management that is capable of automatically handling confirmation requests without user intervention in order to reduce the workload of a train operator while maintaining train operation safety. A train safety management method including the steps of detecting a safety event that affects operation of a train including a first signaling system and a second signaling system, generating a confirmation request associated with a first train control operation for handling the safety event, transmitting the confirmation request to a confirmation request output unit, detecting transmission of the confirmation request to the confirmation request output unit, suppressing output of the confirmation request, generating a substitute confirmation response and transmitting the substitute confirmation response to the first signaling system to prevent performing of the first train control operation.
