RSSB Podcast: Trespass

In this episode, we’re joined by Rich Godwin. Rich is the Chair of industry’s Trespass and Suicide Prevention Working Group. He’s also a Suicide Prevention Co-ordinator at Network Rail, North West and Central Region. Optimising safety and satisfaction for passengers is vital for both RSSB and Network Rail. So, we’re discussing how industry has been coming together to reduce trespass and suicide incidents.

This podcast looks at how the ORR assess whether railway companies are doing enough to reduce trespass risk and the role of the new guidance on trespass risk assessment in helping to meet that objective.

This episode looks at the new RSSB guidance on trespass risk assessment. We also discuss how well trespass prevention measures work, with an example of how higher fences had a dramatic effect on trespass incidents. We consider the advantages of having a consistent assessment method, and whether we have a clear picture of what measures reduce the risk of trespass to as low as reasonably practicable.

This podcast looks at how trespass impacts the railway.  Its operational, financial, and human costs.
