ORR Health and Safety Report 2011

Our Health and Safety Report provides an overview of the health and safety landscape as we see it, both at a strategic level and from our frontline inspections and audits.

The 2011 Health and Safety Report highlights positive strides in safety. Great Britain's railways remain one of the safest in Europe and latest figures show workforce safety continues to improve.

But our report also highlights areas for attention, particularly passenger safety at stations and safety at level crossings. It is crucial that the rail industry, in striving for long-term and sustainable excellence, shows real leadership, maximising everyone’s contribution and steps up to the considerable challenges ahead.
