Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
In the workplace, staff members must be able to analyse and categorise industry occurrence notification reports for a range of notifiable occurrences; from serious accidents or incidents causing death or injury to a breach of a safeworking system. They must have a good understanding of both Category A and Category B occurrences as defined in legislation, and use judgment to determine whether further information is required or the scene of the occurrence needs to be attended. When necessary, staff may influence investigation requirements based on their knowledge of regulatory requirements and incidents that have occurred.
Staff must also review annual rail safety reports to determine future compliance or audit action needed and to identify trends; while rail safety investigation reports are analysed to identify the relevance, implications and lessons to be learned for the jurisdiction. In addition, staff members must be able to respond appropriately to confidential or public reporting of rail safety issues and information.
This unit covers the receipt and actioning of occurrence notification reports and annual rail safety reports from railway operators, rail safety investigation reports, and confidential and public reporting of rail safety issues and information.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
