ABSTRACT:The National Railway Safety Regulator Act, 2002 was developed to create the Railway Safety Regulator to oversee the safety of railway operations. In the intervening years since its promulgation the need has been identified for the Railway Safety Regulator to be informed and involved throughout the life cycle of the operation, and in particular in the phases of design, construction and commissioning. This paper addresses the need for regulations covering these aspects and the advantages to both Permit Holders (Operators) and the Railway Safety Regulator.323237 bytesapplication/pdfenUniversity of PretoriaTransport policiesNational Railway Safety Regulator Act ( 2002)Transportation -- South Africa -- CongressesRailroads -- South Africa -- CongressesRailroads -- South Africa -- PlanningRailroads -- Safety regulations -- South Africa -- CongressesRailroads -- South Africa -- ManagementRailroad travel -- South Africa -- Safety measures -- CongressesEvent
