Monitoring
Progress, safety, health and wellbeing.
There are two aspects to monitoring progress:
measures of strategy delivery
measures of how the industry safety position changes.
Changes in industry safety will be due to a combination of joint actions from this strategy and actions taken within duty holders’ own organisations.
The outputs of the work must be applied in practice across the network. Recognising this critical contribution, specific indicators of progress will be applied to all road maps. These will reflect progress against road map milestones, drawing on detailed project monitoring.
It is not just a case of the work being done. Measuring safety performance will use the Risk Safety Intelligence derived from SMIS reporting. Key safety indicators are routinely monitored. Significant changes and trends are highlighted. They cover:
public behaviour
station operations
road risk
level crossings
workforce safety
workforce related violence
train operations
asset integrity
freight
ORR’s RM3 maturity framework is the industry standard in risk maturity assessment. Drawing on the results from RM3 assessments will allow an industry level understanding of how risk maturity is changing across the sector. It will highlight areas where there are common challenges, identifying where collaborative work can unlock further safety benefits.
Data analysis reveals trends and potential relationships between action, cause, and effect. It is important to understand the underlying issues and reasons for changes in the data. It is essential to collaborate on providing data and sharing intelligence to support the identification of underlying issues and actions. To enable monitoring, we must share data. Making a commitment to follow this strategy requires agreeing to share data of adequate quality to enable safety improvement and show progress.
