Vision for Australian Rail Safety Ø Regulator
• C&E and Safety Improvement • Velvet glove and iron fist • Consistent contextual regulation
Ø Industry
• Live up to co-regulatory regime – Approach under development • Industry Standards should be:
─ All inclusive -Driven nationally ─ Be risk based ─ Clear on what represents good practice
• National risk profile(s) must be generated ─ Appropriate risk model and data collected & analysed.
The prize sought by industry for harmonisation needs to be worked
