Australia’s transport ministers have unanimously approved a national strategy for rail safety data collection.
In 2006, the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) agreed that the collection of rail safety data by regulators and industry should be standardised.
Different state-based approaches have created information gaps and inconsistencies, which means there is currently very little useful data at a national level.
“We can improve our collective understanding of what causes rail incidents, and better manage those safety risks, by collecting the right data that is timely, reliable, comparable and nationally consistent,” said NTC Chief Executive Nick Dimopoulos.
The strategy builds on the work of rail safety regulators in improving national data collection.
