Risk Management Maturity Model [RM3]
The Risk Management Maturity Model [RM3] helps the rail industry increase its capability in health and safety risk management. The model was developed by the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) to assess an organisation’s ability to successfully manage health and safety risks. It can help identify areas for improvement and provide a benchmark for year-on-year comparison.
You can use a wide range of our services and resources to improve your safety risk management culture, systems and processes that are assessed by the ORR. Where applicable, RM3 codes have been added to our services and resources.
