Management of Change
10/05/2019
When a significant change is made to the railway environment that change must be well managed. Those with responsibility for safety on the GB mainline railway system are required to consider and control the risk to passengers, the public and the workforce that might arise from changes being introduced. Change to the risk to these groups can arise from technical (engineering), operational, or organisational changes.
The three principal railway-specific regulations that govern the management of change on the GB mainline railway system are listed below. However, there are other general regulations that are applicable (for example, the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015). You can find these and other regulations relating to the legislative framework for the GB mainline railway system on our webpage 'Complying with Legislation'.
