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).
