8 April 2004 - HSC Railway Strategy Document Update
The HSC has published an update to its strategy document - Health and Safety Commission's strategy for improving health and safety on the railways 2004-2005, for improving railway health and safety. The update for 2004-2005 has been produced to keep in line with changes in the rail environment, and gives more detail of its work under the Rail Delivery Programme. The strategy remains for the most part, unchanged but with a minor change to one of the 5 aims (b) which emphasises a risk-based approach.
The HSC's five aims:
-
revitalise health and safety performance on the railways through targeted regulatory action
-
provide an effective, transparent and risk-based regulatory system
-
ensure the delivery of improvements recommended in the public inquiry reports
-
influence and contribute to the wider strategies of other rail stakeholders to maximise our collective contributions to rail health and safety
-
shape the rail safety agenda in Europe so that it aligns as far as possible with UK structures and approaches.
