Call for Development Group Members – Guideline SPAD Risk Management review

How will this product help the rail industry? 

Your contribution to the review of this Guideline will help determine good practice in preventing and mitigating the risks arising from a Signal Passed at Danger (SPAD). It will also help to improve the current understanding of SPAD risks.  

About

This document identifies a range of resources that may be accessed for further information about SPADs and SPAD risk management. The Guideline shares good practice and solutions within the rail industry. 

Effective management of SPAD risks will assist in managing a range of other rail safety risks. The same precursors to SPADs can be factors leading to many other risks, and good SPAD performance is a sound indicator of good safety management.
