Plans for RIDDOR integration outlined at meeting

Over recent months, the LRSSB has been working on upgrades to its Tram Accident and Incident Reporting System (TAIR) that will enable operators to upload documents relating to the Reporting of Incidents, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR).

During a recent meeting, members of the organisation’s Executive Group were given an update on the project that has seen the LRSSB working in partnership with the Office of Rail and Road.

“A trial of the integrated system is also underway at West Midlands Metro,” explained LRSSB Chief Executive Carl Williams. “Should it prove successful, we would expect the upgrade to be rolled out to other networks over the coming months.

“By using TAIR to submit monthly RIDDOR reports to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), operators should benefit from a streamlined system that puts all safety-related reporting within one comprehensive portal that’s accessible through our online Safety Hub.”

The Executive meeting also received updates on a range of other LRSSB projects, including a national pedestrian safety campaign and plans for a sector-wide Learning Management System that has the potential to help standardise skills training across the sector.

“Once again the meeting provided the ideal platform to update leading figures from across light rail on the valuable work that is being done by the LRSSB on behalf of the sector,” Carl added.
