The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) has published updated guidance to key railway safety regulations following a review of how the guidelines work in practice for railway companies.
The Railways and Other Guided Transport Systems (Safety) Regulations 2006 (ROGS) has been updated to explain the main changes that were made when the United Kingdom left the European Union (EU).
ORR has also included a consolidated version of ROGS to show all the legal changes that have occurred since leaving the EU.
This includes previous amendments to ROGS so that all changes are shown in one document for ease.
ROGS are not changing in terms of what businesses are required to do to manage railway safety – the key requirements of the legislation remain the same.
ORR knows that clear guidance supports businesses that manage safety, and ORR is committed to continuously improving the guidance offered to help improve safety across Britain’s railway.
The consolidated report also delivers on stakeholder feedback in the recent post-implementation review (PIR) of ROGS.
ORR is now working with the industry to reflect the desire for greater guidance on the interactions between ROGs and other regulations.
