Compliance with Australian Standards and Legislation is compulsory for owners, operators and maintainers of rail infrastructure. Engenicom’s Rail Consultants come with the expertise to manage the complex safety and regulatory issues associated with the rail operations at your site.

 

Regulatory compliance is achieved through –

Interface Co-ordination

Consult with stakeholders, identify and assess risks (so far as is reasonably practicable) and prepare interface agreements to manage these risks.

Interfacing parties include -

  • Adjoining accredited track owners
  • Owners of roads that have an interface with your railway (level crossing or bridge)

Owners, operators and maintainers of railways are audited for compliance with -

  • Relevant State Network Rules and Procedures
  • Rail Safety Act
  • OHS Act
  • AS 4292 (Australian Standard for Railway Safety Management)

  • Project and Safety Management Plans
  • Safety Management Systems

Comprehensive reports are generated providing positive and negative feedback emerging from the above activities.
