The closing date for comments – Monday, 19 August 2024

The Rail Industry Safety and Standards Board (RISSB) is seeking nominations from industry representatives and subject matter experts to review AS 7632 Railway Infrastructure – Signage.

How will this help the rail industry? 

This targeted review seeks to support harmonisation of railway signage across the Australian railway industry. Your contribution to the review of this Standard will help drive greater safety outcomes for operators of rail vehicles and track workers.

About

This Standard was last reviewed in 2015, and there is now an opportunity to assess whether it still represents best practice, and meets the current requirements of the Australian railway industry.

The review will include a assessment of current signage being used across the Australian rail sector, and will determine the preferred standard signage for industry. The review of AS 7632 will ensure the Standard aligns with current practice, helping drive better harmonisation of signage across Australian railways.
