7 Executive summary Executive summary The risk information and risk profiles presented here are derived from version 5.5 of the Safety Risk Model (SRM). The assessment and understanding of risk is integral to running all businesses. This bulletin provides risk information to assist the railway industry in its first priority: to manage safety effectively. It has been produced to inform RSSB members, the wider railway industry and interested parties of RSSB s current assessment of the safety risk profile and the main contributors to risk on the mainline railway. Following the development and definition of the safety metrics for passengers and the workforce within the High Level Output Specification, (see section 12), it was agreed that the SRM would be used to provide the baseline risk estimates for the safety metrics prior to the start of control period 4 in April The use of the SRM ensures that due account is taken of low-frequency but potentially high-consequence events, such as train accidents. To facilitate this, the SRM will be updated to version 6 by March 2009, at which point the baseline safety metrics will be established. However, it was recognised that the risk information would become progressively out of date between publication of version 5 (August 2006) and version 6 (March 2009). The industry-based SRM Practitioners Working Group (SRMPWG), supported by the Safety Policy Group (SPG) requested the issue of an interim update (version 5.5) to enable company safety plans to be updated with the latest risk information. The SRMPWG considered it was only necessary to update the parts of the model where the risk may have changed significantly. For all other parts of the model the figures from version 5 have been carried forward. Following a review of the data within the Safety Management Information System (SMIS) 44% of hazardous events in the model have been updated, which accounts for 95% of the risk. With the exception of the models relating to train fires, the train accident models have not been updated as the data review suggested that no significant changes in risk were likely for these hazardous events. These will all be updated in version 6 of the SRM. The scope of the information provided in this version of the Risk Profile Bulletin (RPBv5.5) was approved by the SRMPWG and SPG. The SRM provides a structured representation of the causes and consequences of potential accidents arising from railway operations and maintenance on the mainline railway. The SRM models 125 hazardous events that could lead directly to injury or fatality to passengers, staff or members of the public (MOPs). These events have been identified systematically and include hazardous event train accidents (HETs), movement accidents (HEMs) and nonmovement accidents (HENs). Headlines The SRM version 5.5 (SRMv5.5) indicates that the overall level of risk predicted for the railway has decreased by 1.7% from to FWI/year (excluding suicide and assaults to passengers and members of the public), when compared to version 5. The notable changes in the risk to each exposed group are described below: Version 5.5/May 2008 v

8 Executive summary Passenger risk has increased marginally by 1.8%, from 43.5 to 44.4 FWI/year. A more detailed inspection of the model output shows this comprises a decrease in risk at the platform train interface alongside an increase in risk associated with passenger slip, trip or falls and passenger on-train incidents. It should be noted that some of this increase in risk is attributable to a rise in the number of passenger journeys. Workforce risk has decreased by 6.5%, from 35.4 to 33.1 FWI/year. There has been a general reduction in events which involve workforce working with machinery (eg trapped in machinery, welding etc). Workforce assault risk has decreased due to a reduction in the number of physical assaults. There has also been a decrease in the number of track workers being struck/ crushed by trains. The decrease in member of public risk by 1.5%, from 60.9 to 60.0 FWI/year is predominately due to the decrease in trespasser risk as well as a decrease in the risk associated with the pedestrians being struck/crushed by trains at level crossings and members of the public being struck/ trapped by level crossing equipment. Outlined below are the most significant changes in the SRM at version 5.5: An update of the data to the end of September 2007 has been used as the basis of the analysis. As noted above only a selection of the 125 hazardous events have been updated where the risk level may have significantly changed. For all other parts of the model the risk estimates from version 5 have been carried forward. Risk figures are presented according to the new weightings of fatalities and weighted (FWI), as agreed by the RSSB Board following research and industry consultation. See section 4 for more information on the new weightings. The presentation of the key results has changed. As in previous versions the risk results are presented by accident type and hazardous event. However, the results are also presented by the type of person affected (ie passengers, workforce and members of the public). The results have been presented in this way so they align with the HLOS safety metrics and RSSB s Annual Safety Performance Report (ASPR). This 'interim RPB issue 5.5' contains the new risk figures and should be referred to in conjunction with RPB issue 5, which contains additional information. Table B is now published in a separate volume. A large proportion of tables previously in the hard copy are now held on CDROM (which can be found in the inside cover of this document) or on our extranet site. The risk results from the SRM are presented as a measure of the absolute risk on the mainline railway. As with any risk assessment, the results are estimates and should only be considered as a guide to the overall risk and the relative risk contributions from each of the 125 identified hazardous events. The risk estimates should therefore only be used as an input into, and not as a substitute for, decision taking. Version 5.5/May 2008 vi

9 Introduction 1 Introduction RSSB works with its members to lead and develop long-term safety strategy, set standards and monitor and report on the railway industry s health and safety performance. These roles and responsibilities are set out in RSSB s constitution agreement 1. An understanding of the overall risk level and risk profile of the railway is essential to this role. In RSSB, we need to understand the levels and components of risk to ensure that we address them effectively in fulfilling our functions. Our members, the railway industry, need risk information at both network and local levels to help them benchmark their performance and to formulate their own safety policies and plans. Working together this enables the railway industry to work to continuously reduce safety risk where reasonably practicable - by removing or controlling the precursors to accidents and mitigating their consequences. The SRM was developed by RSSB to provide a structured representation of the causes and consequences of potential accidents arising from railway operations and maintenance on the mainline railway (and in other areas where RSSB has a commitment to record and report accidents). The objectives of the SRM are summarised in Section 2. The SRM consists of a series of fault tree and event tree models representing 125 hazardous events which, collectively, define the overall level of risk on the mainline railway. This bulletin has been produced to inform RSSB members and the wider railway industry of RSSB s current assessment of the risk profile and the dominant contributors to risk on the network. The information contained in this document relates to the system-wide risk on the mainline railway covering all running lines, rolling stock types, locations and stations currently in use. Risk associated with non-mainline areas, such as with yards, sidings, depots and station car parks is not included. The system boundaries for the SRM are detailed in section 3. Note that High Speed One is excluded from the scope of the SRM. The risk estimates presented can be used to provide information for use in risk assessments and for judging how the risk relating to particular operations compares with and contributes to the system-wide risk. Risk profiles for specific lines of route and train operating companies are not provided through the SRM. Without further localised analysis, the information in this bulletin should not be considered to be representative of the risk for any particular line of route or train operating company. The risk estimates presented in this document represent our assessment of the current level of residual risk on the mainline railway. Residual risk relates to the level of risk remaining with the current risk control measures in place and with their current degree of effectiveness. The SRM has been designed to take account of both high-frequency, low-consequence events (occurring routinely, and for which there is a significant quantity of recorded data) and low-frequency, high-consequence events (occurring rarely, and for which there is little recorded data). The results for each hazardous event are presented in terms of the frequency of occurrence (number of events per and the risk (number of fatalities and weighted per. 1 Constitution Agreement relating to Rail Safety and Standards Board Limited.

10 Introduction The hazardous events and precursors are largely the same as for version 5. However, there are a few new precursors so risk contributions may not be directly comparable from version 5 to 5.5. Discussion on the hazardous event and precursor changes can be found in Appendix A, Table A2. The main part of the document sets out: 1. The objectives of the SRM (page 3). 2. The new injury weightings for calculating FWIs (page 5). 3. Total risk on the mainline railway (page 6). 4. Overall risk profiles (page 10). 5. Detailed risk profiles (page 14). 6. Breakdown of risk by precursor groupings (page 29). Access to the model and its outputs, including details of what is contained on the CD-ROM, can be found in section 13. Appendix A contains frequency, consequence and risk estimates for each hazardous event. Appendix B contains frequency and risk contributions for precursors leading to each hazardous event. (Note that this is contained within a separate volume). Appendix C contains risk contributions for grouped cause precursors. Version 5.5/May

11 SRM objectives 2 SRM objectives The primary objectives of the SRM are to provide: An understanding of the nature of the current risk on the mainline railway. Risk information and risk profiles relating to the mainline railway. It is developed and published to support RSSB members, and in particular its purpose is to: Provide risk estimates for use in risk assessments throughout the railway industry. Enable ALARP assessments and cost-benefit analyses to be carried out. Assist in the decision-taking process regarding the merits of technical changes or modifications and new infrastructure investment. Assist in developing priorities for the Strategic Safety Plan (SSP). 2 Assist in identifying additional control measures which would reduce risk. Assist in the identification and prioritisation of the revision of Railway Group Standards (RGS), in terms of their contribution to risk mitigation. Assist in the development of impact assessments for proposed changes to RGS. Assist in prioritising areas for research on the railway. Provide an understanding of the contribution of a particular item of equipment or failure mode to the overall risk. Assist in the validation and development of Safety Certificates and Safety Authorisations, as required by the ROGS regulations. Assist in the identification and prioritisation of issues for audit. 2 RSSB The Railway Strategic Safety Plan (RSSB, January 2008). Version 5.5/May

12 System Boundaries 3 System Boundaries The SRM includes the safety risk from incidents which could occur during the operation and maintenance of the mainline railway within the boundaries defined in the diagram below. There have been no changes in scope for version 5.5. Chart 1. System Boundaries IN SRM SCOPE NOT IN SRM SCOPE People - Passengers on trains. - Passengers at stations within areas to which they have legitimate access. - Railway workers on trains. - Railway workers at stations. - Railway workers working on or near the line. - Railway workers involved in road traffic accidents while on duty. - MOPs (not passengers) outside the mainline railway or legitimately crossing the mainline railway (ie, on level crossings). - MOPs who enter the mainline railway with no legitimate purpose (eg, trespassers including passengers who enter areas for which they have no legitimate access). - Events occurring on the mainline railway that have the potential to affect MOPs living or working outside the mainline railway boundary lines are included. - Events associated with vandalism and MOPs falling or trespassing on the mainline railway are also included. - Suicides and MOP assaults are quantified but not included in the overall results discussion. On trains - All on-train events. - Events on the mainline railway which affect trains. - Events on the trains which themselves cause events on the mainline railway, such as a derailment. - All train, movement and non-movement accidents related to the movement of OTP that occur within possessions.

Version 5.5/May

13 New injury weightings 4 New injury weightings An important change in this document from previous RPBs is that all FWI figures are based on a new set of weightings, which came into effect on 1 April The new weightings were approved by the RSSB Board following a major research project, and consultation with the industry, the ORR and the DfT. It is the first time that the weightings have changed since the use of fatalities and weighted as a measure of railway safety first gained widespread acceptance in the 1980s. Table 1 shows the different injury classifications and their associated weightings, as used in this report. The figures in the weight column represent the number of of each type that are statistically equivalent to one fatality. For example, if an accident resulted in one fatality and three major, the total FWI arising would be 1.3. Table 1. Injury degrees and weightings Injury degree Definition Weight Fatality Death occurs within one year of the accident. 1 Major injury RIDDOR-reportable minor injury As defined in RIDDOR includes losing consciousness, most fractures, major dislocations and hospital stays of 24 hours or more. Physical that are not major, but which result in more than three days absence from work (for members of the workforce) or require hospital treatment (for passengers and members of the public) Non RIDDORreportable minor injury All other physical Class 1 shock / trauma Class 2 shock / trauma Caused by witnessing a fatality or being involved in a collision, derailment or train fire. Other causes, such as verbal abuse, near misses and witnessing non-fatal assaults As well as formalising the basis on which shock and trauma is taken into account, the biggest change is that the least severe minor (those that do not require hospital treatment) are given less weight than previously. The RSSB Board believes that this more accurately reflects the value that society places on such events. Because a large number of these less serious minor are reported each year, the change in weightings has a significant effect on the risk profile. The RSSB Board has recommended that all plans approved prior to 1 April 2008 are not amended, but that the new weightings are used for all subsequent assessments of future investments and safety improvement schemes. 3 Health and Safety Executive (1995): Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR), HMSO Version 5.5/May

14 Total risk on the mainline railway 5 Total risk on the mainline railway This section presents the overall risk results for the 125 hazardous events on the mainline railway which are considered within the SRM. The risk results are separated into train accidents, movement accidents and non-movement accidents (Table 2), and are also presented in terms of passenger, workforce and MOP (Table 3). The total risk from the 125 hazardous events, excluding suicides, and assaults to passengers and members of the public, 4 is assessed to be FWI per year (69.7 fatalities per year, major per year, 11,050 minor per year and 1,486 shock/trauma events per. These total risk estimates are broken down by accident category and injury type in Table 2. The risk figures in FWI per year from SRMv5 are also provided for comparison. It should be noted that train accidents, with the exception of train fires, have not been reanalysed for SRMv5.5. Table 2. Total risk by accident category (excluding suicides, and passenger and MOP assaults) FWI/yr Fatalities/yr Major /yr SRM Version 5.5 SRM Version 5 Minor Injuries/yr Shock/ trauma /yr FWI/yr (new weightings) FWI/yr (old weightings) Accident Category Train Accidents (excl. OTP) Movement Accidents (excl. OTP and Trespass) , Non-movement Accidents (excl. OTP, Trespass and Passenger & MOP Assault) , , On-track Plant (OTP - inside possession) excluding trespass Trespass Total , , Table 2 indicates that when compared to the version 5 results, there has been a continued reduction in risk from train accidents, movement accidents, and trespass. There is a slight increase in the risk from the non-movement accidents and on-track plant (OTP). The key factors that cause the differences in the predicted levels of risk between version 5 and version 5.5 of the SRM are described in Section 16. There has been a decrease in the overall risk, from FWI/yr (v5 in new weightings) to FWI/yr. 4 Whilst physical assaults on members of workforce are believed to be well recorded in SMIS, physical assault on passengers and members of the public are known to be significantly under-reported. BTP figures indicate that the number of passenger and public assaults per year is much higher than that recorded in SMIS (in the region of around 9 FWI/yr). Given the uncertainty of the risk estimates for passenger and member of public assaults, these have been excluded from the overall risk predictions. However, for the purpose of train accident analyses, shock/trauma has been included in the minor category. It has not been possible to extract the proportion of that are shock/trauma for train accidents for version 5.5 of the SRM. Research to resolve this issue prior to the publication of version 6 of the SRM has, however, begun. Version 5.5/May

15 Total risk on the mainline railway It should be noted that although these figures exclude fatalities and major from suicide, with the formalisation of the weighting for shock/trauma, they do include minor and shock/trauma to staff, and shock/trauma to MOP resulting from suicides. The version 5 figures have been adjusted to include these figures, which is why the version 5 total risk in old weighting (182.9 FWI/yr) differs from the figure quoted in RPB version 5 (182.0 FWI/yr). Table 3 shows the relative risk to each person category on the railway. Risk to MOPs forms the greatest proportion of the total risk, at 60.0 FWI/yr. This is due to the large number of fatalities arising from trespass. The total risk to a passenger is 44.4 FWI/yr and the total risk to the workforce 33.1 FWI/yr. There has been little change in the risk to each person category since version 5. The greatest change is to the workforce risk, which has decreased by 2.3 FWI/yr. Table 3. Total risk by person category (excluding suicides, and passenger and MOP assaults) Person category FWI/yr Fatalities/yr SRM Version 5.5 SRM V 5 Nonreportable Reportable Class 1 Class 2 FWI/yr Major Minor minor Shock/ Shock/ (new /yr /yr /yr trauma/yr trauma/yr weightings) Passenger , , Workforce , , MOP Total , , , Table 4 presents the total FWI/yr for each person category, as well as the FWI/yr from each accident category. The table illustrates that for passengers and workforce, the greatest proportion of accident risk is from non-movement accidents. By contrast, most MOP risk, nearly 40%, arises from movement accidents. Within train accidents, most of the risk is to passengers and members of the public (4.2 FWI/yr and 4.1 FWI/yr respectively), with only 1.5 FWI/yr risk to the workforce. By contrast, movement accidents are dominated by MOP risk which accounts for 69% of the movement accident total. Table 4. Total risk to each person category from each accident category (excluding suicides, and passenger and MOP assaults) Passenger FWI/yr Workforce FWI/yr MOP FWI/yr Total FWI/yr HET HEM HEN Total Chart 2 shows the total risk profile for passengers, workforce and members of the public. It shows that the overall risk is split fairly evenly between passengers, workforce and members of the public. For both passengers and workforce, major contribute around 50% of the risk, while fatalities dominate MOP risk (at over 90%). Version 5.5/May

Version 5.5/May

18 Overall risk profiles 6 Overall risk profiles In previous versions of the RPB, the overall risk profile has been presented by hazardous event. However, to give a better level of understanding of the risk, the main types of hazardous events have been grouped into 17 categories. Combining the hazardous events in this manner allows those hazardous event types which contribute the greatest proportion to the total risk to be readily identified. The hazardous events have been combined as follows: Collisions and derailments: Includes collisions between trains, derailments, collisions with buffer stops and derailments, but excludes collisions with road vehicles (RV) at level crossings (LX); these are considered separately. Collision with RV at LX: Includes collision with RVs by passenger trains, nonpassenger trains and OTP. Assaults: Includes assaults on passengers, members of the workforce and MOP. Boarding and alighting: Includes hazardous events related to boarding and alighting trains while in the station, eg HEM-05: Train door closes on passenger, HEM-06: Passenger fall between train and platform. Contact with object: Includes hazardous events relating to objects striking passengers, members of the workforce and MOPs, eg HEM-04: Passengers struck through train window. Electric shock: All hazardous events related to electric shock to passengers, members of the workforce or MOPs. Fires, explosions: Includes fire or explosions on trains, in stations and on the mainline railway. Lean or fall from train in running: All hazardous events relating to caused by passengers or staff leaning or falling from trains in running. Machinery operation: This category includes hazardous events relating to workforce eg being trapped in machinery, or burns due to welding. Manual handling: Includes as a result of manual handling by passengers or staff. Platform edge incidents: Including HEM-08: Passenger fall from platform and struck by train,hem-10: Passenger struck by train while on platform. Slips, trips and falls (incl from height): All hazardous events relating to slips, trips and falls, including from height, for passengers, staff and MOPs. Struck/crushed by large object/structure: Includes hazardous events relating to structural collapse, from level crossing equipment and so on. Struck/crushed by train: Includes passengers, members of the workforce and MOPs being struck at level crossings, on the mainline railways and inside possessions. Trespass: Includes all hazardous events relating to trespass on the railway. On train incidents: Includes all hazardous events occurring on board trains (those not already included in any other category). Version 5.5/May

19 Overall risk profiles Other: Includes all other hazardous events which do not fit easily into one of the above categories. 6.1 Discussion Chart 3 overleaf shows the risk profile (in FWI per, and indicates the percentage change in risk from SRMv5, for each of the 17 hazardous event categories. It can be seen that the greatest contribution to overall risk comes from trespass with 42.6 FWI/yr. This category is dominated by MOP fatalities and major. The risk from trespass has reduced by 4.8% from version 5. The next highest contribution comes from slips, trips and falls with 37.4 FWI/year, with the greatest proportion of risks occurring to passengers, at 24 FWI/yr. The overall risk from slips, trips and falls has increased since version 5, by 5.6%. The increase in slips, trips and falls can be attributed in part to increased numbers of passenger journeys since version 5 of the SRM (passenger journeys have increased by 5%). The category with the greatest increase in risk since version 5 is manual handling, which has increased by 24.4%. The increase in risk from manual handling can be attributed in part to increased data available for analysis, which enables better assessment of risk. The category with the greatest decrease in risk is machinery operation, which has reduced by 30.5%. However, as there are only 0.4 FWI/yr in this category, a small change in data, eg one less fatality in five years will cause a large percentage change in the risk estimate. The category which presents the highest level of risk to passengers is slips, trips and falls, with assaults providing the second highest contribution (see footnote in previous chapter regarding the uncertainty in the assault data). The category which presents the greatest risk to the workforce is also slips, trips and falls. However, the second highest contribution is derived from struck/crushed by large object/structure, such as dropped rail, machinery and so on. The risk to MOPs is dominated by trespass, followed by struck/crushed by train. It can be seen that most of the categories have a level of risk of FWI/yr of >1. Of those categories which contribute significant amounts to the overall risk, only four exceed 10 FWI/yr (trespass, slips, trips and falls, assaults and stuck/crushed by train). Nine of the 17 categories have FWI/yr <5, including platform edge incidents, collisions with road vehicles at level crossings and fires/explosions. Chart 4 shows the combined risk in fatalities per year. It is broadly similar to Chart 3, with the risk from trespass dominating the fatality risk. The second highest level of fatality risk is from struck/crushed by train (9.9/yr excluding trespass). There is also a far smaller contribution to overall fatalities/yr from assaults and slips, trips and falls compared with overall FWI-based risk. The category with the greatest increase in fatality risk since version 5 is slips, trips and falls, which has increased by 24.8%. Although this is a large percentage increase, there are still very few fatalities in this category (6.01 fatalities/yr). The category with the greatest decrease in risk is machinery operation, which has reduced by 45.2%. However, as the fatality risk is so small (0.1 fatalities/yr) it is likely that this change is due, at least in part, to data fluctuations. As there are so few fatalities in this category, estimates of fatality risk are sensitive to a change, hence large percentage changes can arise. Version 5.5/May

22 Detailed risk profiles 7 Detailed risk profiles 7.1 Risk by accident type Charts 5-8 present the risk profiles for train accidents, movement accidents, non-movement accidents and trespass incidents respectively. Note that these profiles exclude suicide, passenger and MOP assaults Train accidents Chart 5 shows the risk profile for train accidents. The only train accident models that have been updated as part of SRMv5.5 were those relating to train fires which include: HET-17: Fire on passenger train (in station) HET-18: Fire on passenger train (not in station) HET-20: Fire on non-passenger train HET-18: Fire on passenger train (not in station) is currently ranked 15th in the train accident risk profile whereas in RPBv5 it was ranked 13th. In the current data period there has been a reduction in the frequency of passenger train fires; this has resulted in an 18% decrease in the risk from FWI/yr to FWI/yr for this hazardous event. HET-20: Fire on non-passenger train is currently ranked 16th in the train accident risk profile whereas in RPBv5 it was ranked 10th. In the current data period there has been a marked reduction in the frequency of non-passenger train fires which has resulted in a 44% decrease in the risk from FWI/yr to FWI/yr for this hazardous event. HET-17: Fire on passenger train (in station) is currently ranked 17th in the train accident risk profile whereas in RPBv5 it was ranked 15th. In the current data period there has been a slight reduction in the frequency of passenger train fires in stations which has resulted in a 4% decrease in the risk from FWI/yr to FWI/yr for this hazardous event. Fires have decreased due to a general reduction in vandalism. This may have been due to initiatives such as improved management of access (eg, more ticket barriers and revenue protection staff), more CCTV monitoring, the impact of non-smoking legislation, and the introduction of newer rolling stock with flame retardant upholstery. Fires due to vehicle or equipment failures may also have reduced due to the introduction of newer passenger rolling stock, removal of Mark I stock and the refurbishment of HSTs. The effects of replacing older rolling stock and with newer stock may explain some of the fall in the frequency of freight train fires. 5 Whilst physical assaults on members of workforce are believed to be well recorded in SMIS, physical assault on passengers and members of the public are known to be significantly under-reported. Figures from the BTP indicate the number of passenger and public assaults per year is much higher than that recorded in SMIS, in the region of around 9 FWIs per year. Given the uncertainty of the risk estimates for passenger and member of public assaults, these have been excluded from the overall risk predictions. However, for the purpose of train accident analysis, shock/trauma has been included in the minor category. It has not been possible to extract the proportion of that are shock/trauma for train accidents for version 5.5 of the SRM. Research is ongoing that should have resolved this issue prior to version 6 of the SRM being issued. Version 5.5/May

23 Detailed risk profiles It should be noted that the changes in the injury weightings have not had an impact on the risk from train accident hazardous events. Version 5.5/May

24 Detailed risk profiles Chart 5. Risk profile for train accidents (FWI/yr) includes percentage change in risk from version HET-12 Derailment of passenger trains HET-10 Passenger train collision with road vehicle on level crossing HET-04 Collision of train with object on line (not resulting in derailment) HET-01 Collision between two passenger trains resulting from a SPAD (other than in stations) (with TPWS) HET-11 Non-passenger train collision with road vehicle on level crossing HET-13 FTP Derailment of freight trains on passenger lines outside possession HET-02NP Collision between a non-passenger train and passenger train resulting from a nonpassenger train SPAD (with TPWS) HET-03 Collision between two non-passenger trains resulting from a SPAD (with TPWS) HET-09 Collision with buffer stops HET-13 FTF Derailment of freight trains on freight only lines outside possession HET-06 Collision between two passenger trains in station (permissive working) HET-24 Explosion on freight train HET-02P Collision between a passenger train and non-passenger train resulting from a passenger train SPAD (with TPWS) HET-13 EP Derailment of ECS&Parcels trains on passenger lines HET-18 Fire on passenger train (not in station) HET-20 Fire on non-passenger train HET-17 Fire on passenger train (in station) HET-22 Structural collapse at station HET-26 Collision between a failed train and an assisting train (-18.4%) (-43.8%) (-3.9%) HET-25 Train divisions (not leading to collision) HET-23 Explosion on passenger train HET-21 Train crushed by structural collapse or large object (not at station) Fatalities Major Injuries Minor Injuries Version 5.5/May

25 Detailed risk profiles Movement accidents Chart 6 shows the risk profile for the top 20 movement accidents (excluding suicide) in FWI/yr as well as the change in risk from SRMv5 to SRMv5.5. It can be seen that, overall, the change in risk is small and that the top 10 hazardous events have shown a decrease in risk. The largest risk increase is from HEM-21: Workforce fall between train and platform, which, with an increase of 0.27 FWI/yr, has more than doubled. The most significant risk decreases are from: HEM-06: Passenger fall between train and platform has decreased by 0.47 FWI/yr, a reduction of 19%. HEM-19: Track worker struck/crushed by train has decreased by 0.29 FWI/yr, a reduction of 11%. HEM-09: Passenger injury while boarding/alighting train has also decreased by 0.27 FWI/yr, a reduction of 7%. HEM-40 MOP struck by train due to being too close to the platform edge has increased by 615%. This risk estimate has previously relied on a small incident data set. Prior to this update no more than a single fatality had occurred in any one year. However, in the current data period, three fatalities occurred in the year 2006/7 and this has resulted in a significant revision of the risk estimate. Table A2 provides a complete set of explanations of the change in the hazardous event risk estimates from SRMv5 to SRMv5.5. Version 5.5/May

26 Detailed risk profiles Chart 6. Risk profile for the top 20 movement hazardous events (excluding suicide) (FWI/yr) includes percentage change in risk from version HEM-27 MOP pedestrian struck/crushed by train on level crossing or footpath crossing 7.16 (-3.2%) HEM-09 Passenger injury w hile boarding/alighting train (platform side) 3.59 (-7.0%) HEM-08 Passenger fall from platform and struck by train HEM-19 Track w orker struck/crushed by train (0%) (-11.2%) HEM-06 Passenger fall betw een train and platform 2.01 (-19.0%) HEM-16 Workforce injury w hile boarding/alighting train HEM-39 Train crew injury due to sudden train movement (-8.0%) (-7.1%) HEM-05 Train door closes on passenger HEM-38 Passenger injury due to sudden train movement HEM-10 Passenger struck by train w hile on platform (-4.8%) (-12.9%) (-0.3%) HEM-21 Workforce fall betw een train and platform HEM-11 Passenger struck w hile crossing track at station on crossing HEM-14 Workforce (not track w orker) struck/crushed by train (+115%) (0%) (0%) HEM-23 Train door closes on w orkforce HEM-01 Passenger injury during evacuation follow ing stopped train HEM-40 MOP struck by train due to being too close to platform edge (+15.9%) (+4.6%) (+615%) HEM-18 Train crew hit by object through train w indow HEM-20 Workforce struck by flying object (includes objects throw n by OTM movements outside a possession) HEM-04 Passenger struck by object through train w indow HEM-13 Train overcrow ding (+31.5%) (-56.3%) (-42.1%) (0%) Fatalities Major Injuries Minor Injuries Version 5.5/May

27 Detailed risk profiles Non-movement accidents Chart 7 shows the risk profile for the top 20 non-movement accidents (excluding passenger and MOP assault) in FWI/yr, as well as the change from SRMv5 to SRMv5.5. It can be seen that the highest ranked non-movement accident, HEN-14: Passenger slip, trip or fall, has increased by 1.19 FWI/yr. This is a 5% increase commensurate with the rise in the number of passenger journeys. The other hazardous event that shows a significant increase is HEN-68: MOP nontrespasser fall in stations. This has increased by 1.26 FWI/yr, which is eight times the SRMv5 estimate. This increase is due to the improved segregation of the MOP events from the passenger events in SRMv5.5. The second highest ranked non-movement accident, HEN-24: Workforce slip, trip or fall <2m, has fallen by 0.80 FWI/yr, a reduction of 10%. Two other hazardous events have shown a significant decrease in risk: HEN-56: Workforce struck by/contact with/ trapped in object not at station, which has reduced by 0.50 FWI/yr, or 15%, HEN-65: Workforce assault, which has reduced by 0.49 FWI/yr, or 12%. Table A2 provides a complete set of explanations of the change in the hazardous event risk estimates from SRMv5 to SRMv5.5. Version 5.5/May

28 Detailed risk profiles Chart 7. Risk profile for the top 20 non-movement hazardous events (excluding passenger and MOP assault and suicides) (FWI/yr) includes percentage change in risk from version HEN-14 Passenger slip, trip or fall 23.7 (+5.3%) HEN-24 Workforce slip, trip or fall <2m 7.49 (-9.7%) HEN-65 Workforce assault HEN-45 MOP (non-trespasser) fall/jump from outside onto the mainline railw ay (-12.2%) (+8.5%) HEN-56 Workforce struck by/contact w ith/ trapped in object not at station HEN-63 Workforce on-train incident (excluding sudden train movement & assaults) HEN-62 Passenger on-train incident (excluding sudden train movement & assaults) (-14.6%) (-2.8%) (+14.1%) HEN-21 Workforce struck/crushed by structural collapse or large object HEN-68 MOP non-trespasser fall in stations HEN-74 Workforce manual handling (-9.9%) (+796.8%) (+27.5%) HEN-23 Workforce struck by/contact w ith/trapped in object w hile on platform area 1.07 (+4.2%) HEN-55 Passenger struck by/contact w ith/trapped in object at station 1.05 (0.0%) HEN-13 Passenger fall from platform onto track (no train present) (+26.1%) HEN-25 Workforce slip, trip or fall >2m (+28.7%) HEN-30 Workforce electric shock (conductor rail) (0.0%) HEN-10 Passenger electric shock at station (conductor rail) (0.0%) HEN-46 MOP slip, trip or fall on level crossing or footpath crossing (-18.2%) HEN-31 Workforce electric shock (OHL) HEN-26 Workforce struck/crushed by non-train vehicle (0.0%) (-17.4%) Fatalities Major Injuries HEN-44 MOP struck / trapped by level crossing equipment or involved in RTA at level crossing (-40.9%) Minor Injuries Version 5.5/May

29 Detailed risk profiles Trespass accidents Chart 8 shows the risk profile for the trespass hazardous events in FWI/yr as well as the change from SRMv5 to SRMv5.5. It can be seen that the highest ranked trespass hazardous event, HEM-25: Adult trespasser struck/crushed while on the mainline railway, has decreased by 2.34 FWI/yr. This is a reduction of 8%. The second highest ranked trespass hazardous event, HEN-38: Adult trespasser electric shock (conductor rail), has increased by 0.81 FWI/yr (or 17%). The other significant change is HEM-26: Child trespasser struck/crushed while on mainline railway, which has also reduced by 1.08 FWI/yr (or 33%). The chart is dominated by red as these incidents have a very high probability of leading to a fatality. As these hazardous events are dominated by fatality risk, which weighs heavily in the FWI weightings, a small number of incidents in the new data set has in some cases resulted in a significant revision to previous risk estimates. Table A2 provides a complete set of explanations of the change in the hazardous event risk estimates from SRMv5 to SRMv5.5. Version 5.5/May

Risk profile for the trespass hazardous events (FWI/yr) includes percentage change in risk from version HEM-25 Adult trespasser struck/crushed w hile on the mainline railw ay 25.9 (-8.3%) HEN-38 Adult trespasser electric shock (conductor rail) 5.50 (+17.3%) HEM-12 Adult/child trespasser struck w hile crossing track at station 3.50 (-1.0%) HEM-26 Child trespasser struck/crushed w hile on mainline railw ay 2.24 (-32.5%) HEN-71 Adult trespass fall/jump from outside onto the mainline railw ay HEN-36 Adult trespasser fall w hile on the mainline railw ay (+36.9%) (-19.8%) HEM-30 MOP fall w hile riding illegally on train (+24.5%) HEN-37 Adult trespasser electric shock (OHL) (+27.2%) HEN-42 Child trespasser electric shock (conductor rail) (+18.5%) HEN-41 Child trespasser electric shock (OHL) (-1.3%) HEN-72 Child trespasser fall/jump from outside onto the mainline railw ay HEN-40 Child trespasser fall w hile on the mainline railw ay (+123%) (-44.5%) HEN-43 Child trespasser electric shock (nontraction supply) HEN-39 Adult trespasser electric shock (nontraction supply) (-22.2%) (-20.4%) Fatalities Major Injuries Minor Injuries Version 5.5/May

31 7.2 Risk by person type Detailed risk profiles This section presents the risk to passengers, workforce and MOPs, broken down by hazardous event. In many cases the risk from a hazardous event includes more than one person type. However, in this section, only the associated with a single person type are included. For example HEM-11 Passenger struck while crossing track at station on crossing includes only the passenger and not the workforce shock and trauma associated with witnessing the event. This accounts for small differences between the risk values in this section and those in section Passenger risk Total passenger risk excluding assault is estimated to be 44.4 FWI/yr. Chart 9 shows the risk profile for the top 20 passenger hazardous events (excluding assault) in FWI/yr and the change in risk from SRMv5 to SRMv5.5. HEN-14: Passenger slips, trips and falls remains the highest contributor to passenger risk at 23.7 FWI/yr (53.5% of total passenger risk). There are also three other non-movement accidents in the top ten hazardous events for passenger risk: HEN-62: Passenger on-train incident (excluding sudden train movement & assaults), which contributes 2.74 FWI/yr. HEN-55: Passenger struck by/contact with/trapped in object at station, which contributes 1.05 FWI/yr. HEN-13: Passenger fall from platform onto track (no train present), which contributes 0.81 FWI/yr. There are two train accidents in the passenger top ten, HET-12: Derailment of passenger trains, which contributes 2.57 FWI/yr to passenger risk and HET-10: Passenger train collision with road vehicle on level crossings, which contributes 0.58 FWI/yr to passenger risk. There are four movement accidents in the top ten hazardous events for passenger risk, all of which relate to the platform-train interface: HEM-09: Passenger injury while boarding/alighting train (platform side), which contributes 3.59 FWI/yr. HEM-08: Passenger fall from platform and struck by train, which contributes 2.33 FWI/yr. HEM-06: Passenger fall between train and platform, which contributes 2.01 FWI/yr. HEM-05: Train door closes on passenger, which contributes 0.70 FWI/yr. HEN-64: Passenger assault is currently estimated to be 8.49 FWI/yr. However the confidence limits on this estimate are very wide. The reason for this lack of confidence is that there are two data sources available to estimate the risk from passenger assault: SMIS and the BTP database, PINS. These sources contain widely different average frequency of assaults; moreover the PINS data has a further difficulty in that it does not record the average consequence from assaults. RSSB is currently working on aligning these two data sources to improve confidence in the estimate of risk from passenger assaults. Version 5.5/May
