The Safety Management System Programme

Next Steps

The current tasks and workstreams focus primarily on the implementation of ROGS and
the development of solutions for additional key risk areas associated with railway safety
management systems.

To capitalise on these workstreams, it is imperative that once the initial programme; and in
particular the outputs from the ‘SMS framework and guidance’ task has been completed; it builds
upon and further develops existing best-practice principles surrounding rail and other industry’s initiatives for ensuring system safety. This can only be achieved by working closely with industry to provide a solid foundation for continuous improvement in railway safety management systems.
