Rail Safety National Law (WA)

In conducting an assessment for the purposes of section 99(1)(d), the rail transport operator must —

examine and analyse each identified risk, including —

the nature of the risk; and

the likelihood of the risk occurring; and

the magnitude and severity of the consequences should a risk be realised; and

the range of control measures available and considered to eliminate or minimise the risk; and

consider risks cumulatively as well as individually; and

use assessment methodologies that are appropriate to the risks under consideration.

The rail transport operator must keep a detailed record of all aspects of the assessment process, including —

the risks considered; and

the likelihood, severity of consequences and control measures considered, including reasons for selecting certain control measures and rejecting others.
