(National Regulations – schedule 1 cl 15)

OTHR has developed and implemented its General Induction that describe how it provides training and awareness to rail safety workers on the content of the safety management system.

The OTHR General Induction:

Provides an overview of the SMS;
Incorporates a written test which is included with training/awareness sessions;
Ensures information about the SMS is included in regular volunteer/rail safety worker briefings;
Ensures that affected workers are consulted when changing or reviewing the SMS;
Ensures updates that require additional training are identified and training delivered as part of the change process;
Ensures that refresher training is provided regardless of skill levels and /or experience;
Ensures that records are kept for all training courses/awareness sessions;
Ensures that discussions about procedures include details of the hazards and risks that exist as well as the controls that are used to eliminate or minimise them;
Ensures that Management Committee reports provide updates on SMS training.

OTHR ensures that training materials are developed and/or delivered by people with the skills and experience and that members including the Management Committee participate and apply the knowledge learned at training/ awareness sessions.

Rail safety workers including contractors participate in training and/or awareness sessions and comply with the procedures contained in the SMS.
