Ellie Burrows appointed chair of key RSSB safety leadership group

Network Rail’s Anglia Director, Ellie Burrows, has been appointed chair of RSSB’s System Safety Risk Group (SSRG).

SSRG promotes collaboration through the industry’s shared strategy: ‘Leading Health and Safety on Britain’s Railway’ (LHBSR). This sets out the opportunities to improve across 12 key risk areas as well as industry’s own capabilities, helping to keep Britain’s railways among the safest in the world.

By working together across organisational boundaries, the railways establish good practice and can respond to shared risks more easily.

In addition to her role at Network Rail, Ellie has been Train Services Director at Southeastern, as well as being a Fellow and Deputy Chair of the Chartered Institution of Railway Operators.

Ellie takes over the chair from Steve Murphy, CEO of MTR UK.
