Railway Accident Investigation Guidelines for Rail Transport Operators Police and Emergency Servcies Personnel
Railway Accident Investigation Guidelines for Rail Transport Operators Police and Emergency Servcies Personnel
Summary
The first persons arriving at an railway accident site can
render valuable assistance to minimise injury and loss of life,
reduce property loss through damage, and prevent loss of clues and
evidence as to the factors that contributed to the accident.
Often Police and Emergency Services and representatives of Rail
Transport Operators (rail infrastructure managers and/or rolling
stock operators) are the first trained personnel to arrive at
railway accident sites. In addition, supervisory officers
coordinate response and recovery from locations offsite. These
guidelines have been prepared by the Australian Transport Safety
Bureau (ATSB) to assist these personnel to better understand the
essential procedures and the requirements of the Transport
Safety Investigation Act 2003 (TSI Act).
