Improving welfare facilities for rail workers
Manage episode 520293058 series 2840293
The rail industry often requires workers to undertake safety-critical duties in remote and isolated locations, often during unsociable hours, and operating in these environments can present many challenges for them, including securing access to appropriate welfare facilities, such as toilets.
In the latest episode of the Rail and Road Pod, Richard Hines, our HM chief inspector of railways, explains what tangible improvements the rail regulator wants to see, including working towards a culture where sharing welfare facilities becomes the norm.
And Sally Griffiths, from RSSB, talks about how her organisation has worked to tackle the shortage of welfare facilities for freight drivers by driving standards, research and collaboration in this area.
