Queensland regulation
This is a detailed set of rules that supports Queensland's rail safety law. It covers two main areas: drug and alcohol testing of rail workers, and fees charged to large train operators to fund rail safety investigations.
Rail safety workers (think train drivers, signallers, and others whose jobs directly affect train safety) — they can be tested for alcohol and drugs while on the job.
Large rolling stock operators (companies that run trains) — specifically those whose trains travel more than 1.5 million kilometres within Queensland per year. These operators must pay an annual fee to fund rail safety investigations.
