Pro Formas For SPAD And LRTAE Investigations Finalised
An industry driven project to develop SPAD and LRTAE investigation pro formas has successfully concluded and the forms are now available to download from RISSB’s website.
The two separate pro formas (one for heavy rail SPADs and one for light rail LRTAEs) can be found in the Grand
Central (RISSB’s dedicated resource hub for industry) area of RISSB’s website. Just look for the 'Helpful Resources' section. Industry is encouraged to download and use these forms as they have been developed to ensure they capture the information necessary to assist rail organisations to learn from SPAD or LRTAE incidents.
The SPAD Investigation Pro Forma and LRTAE Investigation Pro Forma were developed by a group of
representatives from the rail industry, led by A/Prof Anjum Naweed at CQU and his team. Later this year, RISSB will work with CQU to enhance and adapt these forms into a dynamic app for use in the field. The app will consider feedback from industry in the use of the forms.
Thank you to the rail organisations involved.
