Railway Industries

With our extensive rail industry experience we can help you comply with the relevant Health and Safety requirements.

Our team have many years of rail-related Health and Safety experience. We understand that those in the railway industry need to ensure and record compliance with the requirements of the Railway and Other Guided Transport System (Safety) Regulations (ROGS).

Additionally, RSSB have highlighted that there are unmet and undefined occupational health risks in the rail industry. This includes; musculoskeletal disorders, diesel engine exhaust emissions (DEEE), hand-arm vibration (HAVS), and silica dust, in addition to COVID-19.

Industry specific health and safety advice can increase staff productivity, prevent occupational disease and help to prevent incidents that may lead to compensation claims or reputational damage.
