| Occurrence | Road Rail Vehicle occurrences on Iarnród Éireann Network |
| Occurrence Date | 24 September 2015 |
In terms of contractor’s Safety Statements, the RAIU found that hazards were not identified and there were errors in their systems of working. In addition to improvements to contractor’s high-level safety documents, this investigation found that method statements were not in place, or not briefed, for all the occurrences. As a result, the RAIU make the following safety recommendation:
IÉ-IM should conduct an audit on RRV contractor’s safety documents with a view to identifying deficiencies in terms of safety and ensuring the appropriate safety documentation is produced for the works; IÉ-IM should support and offer guidance to the RRV contractors in terms of the identification of hazards and methods of working on a railway network.
