Safety is Our Top Priority

We have established an adequate Safety Management System that is compliant with and addresses requirements the Occupational Health and Safety Act, 85, 2003 and the Railway Safety Regulator Act,16, 2002. Safety in the rail is regulated and overseen by the Railway Safety Regulator (RSR).

We have obtained a Safety Permit from the RSR after fulfilling all its safety requirements. Our current Safety Permit expires 2028. To maintain the validity of our Safety Permit, we submit annually the Safety Improvement Plans to the RSR for assessment.

Over and above meeting the requirements and complying with safety regulations, we implement ongoing safety campaigns as part of safety improvement initiatives. All our teams are focused on ensuring an environment of zero harm and continually review operational risks to proactively mitigate the identified risks.
