Title: ORR guidance on safety management for heritage railways Post by: stuving on August 01, 2023, 22:41:07 ORR are being helpful! Or that's the idea, anyway (https://www.orr.gov.uk/search-news/regulator-publishes-new-rogs-guidance-minor-and-heritage-railways):
Quote ORR has today published guidance for minor and heritage railways to help them interpret and apply the specific requirements of Railways and Other Guided Transport Systems (Safety) Regulations 2006 (ROGS). All railways need to comply with ROGS, although some transport systems, including minor and heritage operations, can be excluded from what is required of their mainline counterparts. However, every railway is expected to have a Safety Management System (SMS) and the new guidance published provides a summary of the ROGS requirements for SMS and how minor and heritage dutyholders may apply these to their own railways. The regulator encourages all these operators to consider the contents of the guidance and take appropriate action. ORR has asked for feedback on the new guidance to assist it with future revisions.
