Bus services—safety management systems
31 Bus services—safety management systems
It is a condition of the accreditation of an operator of a bus service that the operator has, and implements, a safety management system that complies with this section.
The safety management system must be documented and must—
identify any significant risks that have arisen or may arise from providing the bus service, including carrying out any associated transport safety work, and
specify the controls (including audits, expertise, resources and staff) that are to be employed by the operator to manage the risks and to monitor safety outcomes in relation to the provision of the bus service, and
comply with any requirements prescribed by the regulations or set out in any guidelines issued by TfNSW under this section and published in the Gazette.
TfNSW may issue guidelines with respect to policy objectives and safety initiatives to be adopted by operators in safety management systems.
An operator must, if directed to do so by TfNSW, vary a safety management system.
Note.
A community transport service that uses buses is also a bus service.
