Review of the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) by the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) – public consultation

RSSB’s constitution requires that it is subject to a review every 5 years. On 2 February 2010 RSSB asked ORR to undertake a review:

• Review of RSSB - letter from RSSB to ORR (PDF)
• Review of RSSB - ORR reply to RSSB (PDF)

As part of this review, ORR is conducting a public consultation directed at organisations and individuals with an interest in the work of RSSB and mainline railways health and safety. We welcome your input to this important review.

There are two consultation papers: the first is a detailed questionnaire on aspects of RSSB’s work and will be most suitable for members of RSSB and other organisations that work with RSSB, or use any of their products and services; the second questionnaire asks for general observations that may be more suitable for individuals and organisations with less direct involvement with RSSB. However, you are free to complete the questionnaire that best enables you to express your views. Please save your document before you send it to us.

Responses should be sent by 7 May 2010 to:
