The Railways and Other Guided Transport Systems (Safety) Regulations 2006 (ROGS)
Details
The Regulations were introduced to implement the European Railway Safety Directive (2004/49/EC) into Great Britain. The aim of that Directive was to establish a common approach to rail safety and support the development of a single market for rail transport services in Europe.
The regulations require most railway operators (known as transport operators) to maintain a safety management system (SMS) and hold a safety certificate or safety authorisation indicating the SMS has been accepted by the Office of Rail and Road.
ROGS and other rail safety legislation, including Railway Interoperability Regulations (RIR), require operators to comply with relevant safety standards.
These include compulsory standards which must be met before operators can apply for authorisation or certification to use vehicles or infrastructure on the railway, as well as standards which are required through contracts, the safety management system and licence conditions.
