SUMMARY:Level Crossing Risk Management Guide V6: A summary of the significant changes
DESCRIPTION:Join the RTSA New Zealand Chapter online for a discussion on the new Level Crossing Risk Management Guide (LCRMG) V6 guide\, developed collaboratively by the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA)\, Local Roading Authorities and KiwiRail. \n📅  12:00pm – 1:00pm Tuesday 11th August\n🌏  Online\n🎟️  Level Crossing Risk Management Guide V6: A summary of the significant changes \nPresentation overview\nThis revised edition reflects a unified\, industry-wide approach to the assessment and management of level crossing risk\, providing a consistent framework that is tailored to the New Zealand operating environment. \nThe guide incorporates current industry best practice and promotes a collaborative approach to identifying\, assessing\, and managing risks at level crossings. By establishing a common methodology\, it enables road and rail stakeholders to make informed\, transparent\, and evidence-based decisions regarding level crossing safety\, investment priorities\, and risk mitigation measures. \nA key principle of the LCRMG Version 6 is the application of the ‘So Far As Is Reasonably Practicable’ (SFAIRP) framework. This ensures that risk reduction measures are implemented to the extent that is reasonably practicable\, taking into account the balance between the level of risk and the effort\, time\, and cost required to mitigate that risk. \nImportantly\, the guide recognises that level crossing safety is a shared responsibility. Effective management of level crossing risk requires ongoing collaboration between KiwiRail\, Road Controlling Authorities\, NZTA\, and other relevant stakeholders. Through shared accountability and coordinated decision-making\, the guide aims to improve safety outcomes\, optimise the allocation of resources\, and support the long-term reduction of risk across New Zealand’s level crossing network. \nPresenter\nEddie Cook has been involved in the Road/ Rail safety engineering field for over 30 years. Eddie has extensive technical and practical knowledge of Level Crossing Risk Assessment processes. Eddie is Kiwirail’s recognised Subject Matter Expert for Level crossing Risk and the ALCAM (Australian Level rossing Assessment Model). \nGareth Williams is a Rail Safety and Assurance Manager with Auckland Transport. Gareth recieved a Lifetime Achievement Award at the New Zealand Rail Conference following a career in rail safety with Transdev and KiwiRail.
