You must comply with this standard if you intend to operate a business that is involved in rail transport operations. Rail transport operators are required to manage the risks posed by the ill-health of rail safety workers.
This Standard provides practical guidance for rail transport operators to meet these obligations. This responsibility is an essential part of a rail transport operator’s rail safety management system which aims to minimise risks and protect the safety of:
- the public
- rail safety workers and their fellow workers
- the environment.
