Abstract

Specifies railway safety requirements including accountabilities to be included in a railway safety management system by any organization or other railway industry participant demonstrating its ability to work safely and which is committed to achieving continuous improvement to the organization's safety performance.

Scope

This Standard specifies railway safety requirements including accountabilities to be included in a railway safety management system by any organization or other railway industry participant demonstrating its ability to work safely and which is committed to achieving continuous improvement to the organization's safety performance. It is applicable where achievement of the safety requirements is to be by either adherence to established designs, specifications or operating and maintenance procedures in particular subject areas, or by demonstration of adequate capabilities in those areas by other means.
The Standard applies to railways as defined in Clause1.5.13 and includes mainline systems, isolated systems, heritage systems, in each case either government, commercial, private or not-for-profit.
Occupational health and safety issues are not the prime objective of this Standard, but are acknowledged in that the primary aspects common to both railway safety and OHS are dealt with.
