Groups and Committees

The System Interface Committee (SIC) is the senior stakeholder group that coordinates and resolves cross-SIC issues. It agrees actions in response to requests or direction from the Technology Leadership Group and the RSSB Board.

SSRG promotes collaboration on safety issues aligned to the risk areas described in the industry’s safety strategy ‘Rail Health and Safety Strategy’.

The Sustainable Rail Executive (SRE) champions a whole-industry approach to sustainability. It influences and shapes the Sustainable Rail Blueprint, supporting rail to become the leading mode of sustainable transport. The group responds to government ambitions and oversees and promotes an ambitious, affordable, and practical rail sustainability programme.

RISAS is the Railway Industry Supplier Approval Scheme, which ensures key suppliers can become recognised as best-in-class at delivering on the most challenging and high-risk aspects of rail vehicle maintenance, repair and overhaul.

The Rail Wellbeing Alliance (RWA) and its subgroups coordinate a variety of health activities across the industry, so that legal requirements, cost benefits, and better health provision within organisations can be universally achieved.
