Rail Safety National Law

The Rail Safety National Law (RSNL) is a framework that sets consistent safety standards and regulations for the rail industry across participating Australian states and territories. It aims to improve safety practices, reduce accidents, and streamline oversight by creating a unified set of rules, replacing fragmented laws. Under the RSNL, rail operators and safety workers must follow specific procedures, report incidents, and comply with safety management systems to ensure safe and efficient rail transport nationwide. It also establishes a national regulator to oversee compliance and enforce safety standards uniformly.
