Network Rail – Proper Governance
Simon Morgan heads up all corporate health and safety, including all workforce and rail passenger risk. Although this is a dizzyingly broad remit, he recognises that driving is still one of the organisation’s key risk areas to manage. While its engineers are very well versed in the health and safety of working on railway lines, they do not necessarily recognise road risk as an equivalent occupational hazard. Network Rail has joined the Driving for Better Business programme as part of its renewed focus on fleet safety. It will be using the risk assessment and management gap detection resources, as well as driver content such as posters and the Van Driver Toolkit. Network Rail has successfully driven down its ‘life saving rules breaches’. Its life saving rules are:
- Always wear a seat belt
- Never drive under the influence of drink or drugs
- Never speed
- Never use a mobile phone, even hands free
