Safety Recommendation
035/07
Issued To
Land Transport NZ
on 26 Sep 07
Note the failures of the regulatory system to detect shortcomings in the maintenance of infrastructure (as presented in the Commission?s report 05-116: collapse of the Nuhaka Bridge under a work train) and shortcomings in the construction and commissioning process for newly modified rolling stock (as presented in this report), and;
Take a more strategic approach to risk management of the rail industry, and in particular take more of a leadership role in setting, changing and monitoring compliance with national standards for rail infrastructure and rolling stock, and the interaction between these components of the rail system.

In previous correspondence (dated 26 September 2007) to TAIC, Land Transport NZ responded to this recommendation by noting the failure of, firstly, the maintenance system that led to the collapse of the Nuhaka Bridge and, secondly, in the commissioning and construction process that led to the Meadowbank incident. These responses did not note any failure in the regulatory system as stated in your recommendation, as Land Transport NZ does not attribute the cause of the two incidents investigated by TAIC to failure of the regulatory system.
In regard to the second part of the recommendation, Land Transport NZ has recently reviewed its rail regulatory activities within the context of the co-regulatory New Zealand rail system. As a result of the review, initiatives are currently being developed that will enable the Rail Regulation team to take a more strategic, proactive approach to its role. This is an on-going process and taking a more strategic approach does not have a "completely implemented" end date, as requested in your letter. However, a number of initiatives should be in place by 30 June 2008 that will enhance the strategic capability of the Rail Regulation team.

For operations in Milford Sound, either implement maximum meteorological parameters, or require operators to include maximum meteorological parameters in their safety management documentation.
Implementation Status:
Open
Reply:
It is not my intention, at the moment, to implement any maximum meteorological parameters or to require operators to include such parameters in their operating procedures without more consultation. It is possible, however, that some form of maximum parameters may arise from the revised risk assessment process.

Environment Southland has investigated the installation of a remote weather station at Copper Point, Milford Sound. In conjunction with the Milford Sound Development Authority we have accepted a proposal to install the equipment before the end of September, and we are in the process of applying to the Department of Conservation for a concession for the installation.
