This guidance is aimed at companies and individuals who have responsibility for managing fatigue in railway staff, including those who have control of safety critical work under regulation 25 of the Railways and Other Guided Transport Systems (Safety) Regulations 2006 (ROGS). Although ROGS requirements apply to safety critical work as defined in these regulations, many of the principles and controls involved in controlling fatigue will be common to all staff irrespective of whether their work is safety critical under ROGS or not. Many companies will choose to manage fatigue risks in the two groups of staff in similar ways, though the details of fatigue controls will vary depending on the likely risks from fatigue. This guidance gives advice on good practice in managing fatigue associated with work in the rail industry, and builds on the more general guidance applicable to all industries, including rail, in HSE‟s guidance booklet HSG256 “Managing shift work – health and safety guidance.”
