The railway industry has a collective responsibility to ensure every employee goes home safely at the end of their working day.

Yet RISQS continues to see evidence of suppliers importing risk through outdated and incomplete documents.

While it may ‘save’ time and costs to recycle work packs from one job to the next, it increases the risk of accidents occurring. When we get safe work planning wrong, it does result in fatalities.

Our latest collation of audit results within 7.2 Managing Fatigue have found:

  • 36% of suppliers are not following compliance in modules within NR/L2/OHS/003.
  • 25% of suppliers do not have a complete risk assessment on fatigue calculating and mitigating risk.

Therefore, on Thursday 14th September, RISQS Scheme Manager Phil Smith delivered a webinar addressing the key points within fatigue management and safe work planning.
