3 Message from the Chairman It is my pleasure to present the National Rail Safety Strategy This strategy represents a vision and future path for the Australian rail industry based on the collaborative efforts of rail organisations across the nation with support from the Australasian Railway Association, Rail Industry Safety and Standards Board, state transport safety regulators and trade union organisations. It is the first of its kind in Australia. As an industry, we are astutely aware of the responsibility we carry for the safety of all who come into contact with our business including rail workers, the travelling public, freight customers and local communities. While we can take some comfort from the fact that rail is one of the safest modes of transport in the world, we cannot overlook some of the tragic events in our history that have resulted in injury, loss of life and community harm. These events serve as sombre reminders that our task to protect the people who work for us and those who interact with our services is one that requires ongoing vigilance, hard work and long term commitment. This strategy represents a serious commitment on behalf of the Australian rail industry to make rail the safest and most sustainable freight and passenger transportation system in Australia. It encompasses seven strategic areas of focus for the next 10 years to bring about greater consistency in rail safety practices and heightened accountability for delivering safety outcomes. These include a focus on safety standards, risk management, culture, data and knowledge management, stakeholders, as well as public and industry education. It is an exciting time for our industry. We currently face an immense reform agenda amidst ever-increasing levels of industry complexity and diversity. However, our primary task is to respond to these challenges without compromise to the safety of all who come into contact with our operations. I look forward to working together with all industry partners to deliver the objectives of this strategy and, ultimately, to rail remaining the safest and most sustainable land transportation system in the country. Tony Drake Chairman, Rail Industry Safety and Standards Board NATIONAL RAIL SAFETY STRATEGY
4 Introduction The vision of the Australian rail industry is to remain the safest and most sustainable passenger and freight land transportation system in Australia. In an industry marked by immense diversity of scale and scope, significant internal and external competition pressures, unprecedented legislative reform and competing regulatory frameworks, this is no small task. However, it is the industry s most important task. This strategic plan has been developed by a large group of representatives from the rail industry. It is designed to provide a direction and a central focus for rail safety to the year 2020 and is complimentary to the National Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Strategy By detailing the industry s vision, drivers for change, priorities for action and indicators of success, the strategy seeks to provide a framework for all stakeholders of the rail industry to focus their safety improvement efforts. The strategy has been developed in the knowledge that the following principles are fundamental to its successful implementation: A safe systems approach A shared responsibility using a co-operative approach Engagement with industry, government, rail stakeholders and the community An risk-based approach Using existing information and building on research and international developments These principles give rise to seven strategic areas of focus that are designed to provide a holistic approach to improving safety within the industry. These include a focus on safety standards, risk management, culture, data and knowledge management, stakeholders, and public and industry education. These seven areas of focus form the basis of a series of corresponding national priorities for action. These priorities are: 1. To develop high quality, effective national rail safety standards, codes of practice and guidelines 2. To implement targeted interventions for the rail industry s Top 5 risks: To reduce the risk of collisions and near misses at railway level crossings To reduce the risk of rail collisions To reduce the risk of derailments To reduce the occurrence of rail worker injuries and incidents To improve passenger safety and security on passenger rollingstock and at stations 3. To improve the safety culture and risk management capabilities of the rail industry 4. To develop a system for achieving timely, reliable, comparable and nationally consistent rail safety data 5. To build effective partnerships that drive significant and sustainable safety improvement while achieving practical outcomes at a national level 6. To achieve heightened public and industry awareness of key rail safety risks and mitigation strategies 7. Achieve sustainable modal transfer to rail from contestable alternative transport modes that are less safe This strategy will be implemented by a series of collaborative partnerships between industry stakeholders. It will be supported by a number of annual action plans that provide the detail and accountabilities for specific safety improvement projects. The strategy will be reviewed as required by the RISSB Safety Standing Committee to monitor progress against meeting its objectives and to ensure it remains focussed on the industry s risk profile and changing priorities. 2 NATIONAL RAIL SAFETY STRATEGY
5 Strategic Trends and Drivers The Australian rail industry encompasses a vast array of operating passenger and freight railway companies; track owners; infrastructure manufacturers and maintainers; rolling stock manufacturers and maintainers; suppliers of track and signalling materials; transit authorities; government regulatory agencies; railway associations; professional organisations; consultants; contractors; and educational institutes. There are over 150 rail operators accredited to operate within Australia with these organisations employing over 100,000 people. It is estimated that a further 70,000 people are employed in supporting industries. The rail industry is a significant contributor to the country s rural and regional economies, producing economic benefits worth over $7 billion a year. Safety has always been an area of intense focus within the rail industry and even more so since the initial signing of the Intergovernmental Agreement on Rail Safety in 1996, and its subsequent updates. This agreement seeks to achieve a cost effective, nationally consistent approach to railway safety and the current co-regulatory regime has gone part-way towards achieving these goals. There has been a great deal of goodwill and effort by both industry participants and accreditation authorities to make a co-regulatory environment work and the power of collaborative partnerships to achieve practical safety improvements is being increasingly recognised. In recent years, the industry has seen significant legislative reform with the introduction of the National Transport Commissions National Model Rail Safety Bill 2006 and Regulations and subsequent State and Territory legislative arrangements. This legislative reform has taken the industry one step closer to achieving national consistency however there are still a number of gaps requiring attention including a lack of reliable and consistent data being assembled at a national level from which to measure performance, analyse risks or conduct valuable benchmarking activities. Further reforms which industry is actively contributing to and monitoring carefully include the establishment of a National Rail Safety Regulator by 2013, and an expanded role for the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) in investigating rail safety incidents and providing national rail incident statistics. The global rail industry has an inherent vulnerability to high severity, low probability accidents and the Australian rail industry has not been without incident in this regard. The notable train accidents at Waterfall in New South Wales (2003), the Cairns Tilt Train derailment at Berajondo in Queensland (2004), and the Kerang level crossing accident in Victoria (2007) all resulted in loss of life and/ or severe injury and serve as poignant reminders that the rail industry is not in a position to rest on its laurels with regard to safety. The industry has a history based in a powerful culture of punctuality that said, on-time running as a measure of performance has not always been the best advocate of a safety-first approach. Historically, a prescriptive, rule-based approach to safety has meant that the rail industry has been slower than others to embrace the performance-based risk management regime that is now recognised as best-practice. In summary, safety within the rail industry is an issue taken very seriously by all stakeholders. The challenge is to channel the efforts of these stakeholders to foster a culture of collaborative partnerships, risk management best practice and national consistency. It is hoped that this strategy provides a mechanism for doing so. NATIONAL RAIL SAFETY STRATEGY
6 Strategic Fit The National Rail Safety Strategy represents a series of priorities identified for rail safety for the next ten years. In doing so, it is designed to work in concert with the immense body of work planned or already underway within the industry and within the national OHS framework.
