Northern is committed to running a safe railway and to ensuring that appropriate resources are available to do so. We will protect the safety of our customers, staff, contractors and the general public who may be affected by our actions and will ensure that property and the environment are protected.
The ways in which we identify, control and minimise hazards and risks are set out in Northern's Safety Management System. This is translated into measurable actions in a Safety Plan which is produced annually and reviewed regularly.
