National Track Worker Safety Forum July 2021 RISSB will be hosting a National Track Worker Safety Forum next month as part of its ongoing commitment to supporting track worker safety, and facilitating critical incident and accident knowledge sharing between operators. Earlier this year, RISSB, in collaboration with the Office of the National Rail Safety Regulator and the Australian Centre for Rail Innovation, released the Track Worker Safety Options Report. This forum will provide industry with the opportunity to discuss the report, share ideas and experiences on track worker safety, and help RISSB identify areas that it should focus on in the future. For further information about the forum, please go to the National Track Worker Safety Forum page on RISSB's website. Should you wish to attend the forum, please contact Mike Aviet, General Manager Product Delivery by clicking this link.
