sec.100 Conduct of assessments for identified risks
In conducting an assessment for the purposes of section 99 (1) (d) , the rail transport operator must— examine and analyse each identified risk, including— the nature of the risk; and the likelihood of the risk occurring; and the magnitude and severity of the consequences should a risk be realised; and the range of control measures available and considered to eliminate or minimise the risk; and consider risks cumulatively as well as individually; and use assessment methodologies that are appropriate to the risks under consideration. The rail transport operator must keep a detailed record of all aspects of the assessment process, including— the risks considered; and the likelihood, severity of consequences and control measures considered, including reasons for selecting certain control measures and rejecting others.
