Risk management guidance

This section of the website provides high-level guidance and general principles on the application of so far as is reasonably practicable (SFAIRP) and cost benefit analysis (CBA) to railway safety.

ORR is revising the internal guidance it gives its inspectors on the application of so far as is reasonably practicable – see: add url or see related documents below.  If you have any views on the document please let Mr Lee Collins, Safety Strategy, ORR, 2nd floor, One Kemble Street, London WC2B 4AN, e-mail: lee.collins@orr.gsi.gov.uk, Tel. 0207 282 3940 know before noon on Monday 18 May 2009.

As part of a review of our guidance on the use of CBA in support of safety-related investment decisions, we considered and responded to stakeholders’ views following a consultation (from November 2007 to January 2008). Our revised “Internal guidance on cost benefit analysis in support of safety-related investment decisions” guidance was released on 29 February 2008.
