We intend to work closely with KiwiRail to oversee the internal reviews of documentation and procedures and implementation of a risk management system for slip hazards on the rail corridor with and aim to implementing and closing these recommendations as soon as practicable.
Discussions on them will commence on publication of the report and will be ongoing. Any outstanding Transport Accident Investigations Commission (TAIC) recommendations also form an integral part of our annual safety assessments of the rail industry.
When these reviews and implementation are concluded and the appropriate evidence has been gathered, we will be liaising with TAIC with a view to closing these safety recommendations.
