The rail industry road risk collaboration structure:

Road risk - collaboration arrangements and roadmap - page 1

The driving force behind industry’s road risk collaboration programme is The Leading Health & Safety on Britain’s Railway (LHSBR) strategy document.

LHSBR Chapter 4 – Occupational Road Risk Management, sets the key challenges for industry to collaborate on. These can be summed up as:

  1. Introduce DfBB into every rail company.
  2. Introduce DfBB into the rail industry supply chain.
  3. Improve the capture, analysis and reporting of performance data.
  4. Implement robust collaboration arrangements across all industry sectors.
  5. Set performance measurement criteria for collaboratin and occupational road risk management.

The Road Risk Group has produced a rail industry road risk collaboration roadmap to help organisations understand where the rail industry is heading, and how everyone can contribute together to continuously improve the management of work-related road safety.
