RAILWAY SAFETY BILL FINALLY LEAVES PARLIAMENT
- 14 May 2024
- Parliament
- SA Legal Academy
The NCOP has passed the Railway Safety Bill’s ‘B’ version without recommending any further changes. It is therefore ready to leave Parliament.
Tabled in March 2021, the Bill seeks to:
- improve the railway safety regulatory framework for passengers and freight, among other things by
- delegating the management and implementation of safety measures largely to operators, while
- making the Railway Safety Regulator responsible for ensuring compliance with these measures and promoting safety
- promote the use of rail as a preferred mode of transport, and to
- address various governance issues.
Once enacted and operationalised, the new piece of legislation will repeal the National Railway Safety Regulator Act, 2002.
