Railways (Safety Management) Regulations 1999

The Railways (Safety Management) Regulations 1999 set out requirements for train operators to proactively manage safety. They mandate the development of safety management systems to identify, assess, and control risks to ensure safe railway operations. The regulations also require continuous monitoring, staff training, and incident reporting to prevent accidents and protect passengers, workers, and the public. Essentially, they establish a structured framework for maintaining high safety standards across the railway industry through planning, implementation, and review of safety measures.
