Health and safety guidance

To help prioritise ours and the industry’s strategic focus we issue chapters, which we update as part of a rolling process, focused on the key risks from across the sector and based on incident data, risk trend analysis and the findings from our inspections, investigations and audits.

Our health and safety regulatory strategy sets out our approach to regulating health and safety risks created and managed by Britain’s railways. t looks at how we drive continuous improvement, deliver cost effective and safe railway, to be amongst the safest in the world.

There are well over 200 minor and heritage railways operating across Great Britain, and we are responsible for regulating their safety.

ORR is the safety regulator and enforcing authority for light railways and tramways.
