Existing SSPP Manual Published in June, 2001 23 Elements, including Security

Summary of New Urban Rail Manual Removed all References to Security Format based on APTA Manual for Commuter Rail SSPP(May-15- 2006) Based on Continuous Improvement Concepts Quantifiable Objectives Accountability 22 Elements grouped into 4 categories More detailed than existing SSPP Manual Includes Interface with Risk Management and Quality Control

Summary of New Urban Rail Manual 4 Safety Categories Safety Management and Administrative Requirements Safety Program Implementation Safety Engineering Techniques and Analysis Safety Assurance

Safety Management and Administration Planning Phase of System Safety Program Plan: Elements 1-7 Policy Statement Purpose and Scope Goals Identifiable and Attainable Objectives System Description/Organizational Structure Plan Control and Update Safety Contract Requirements

Safety Contract Requirements Element 7 Services Facilities, Equipment and Materials Construction Management

Safety Program Implementation Goals and Objectives are implemented through Policies and Procedures: Elements 8-16 Facilities Maintenance and Inspection Vehicle Maintenance, Inspection and Repair Rules and Procedures Review Training and Certification Emergency Planning and Response Workplace Safety Program Passenger and Public Safety Rail Corridor Operational Study Environmental Management Programs

Workplace Safety Programs Element 13 Safety Culture Employee Safety Programs Contractor Safety Coordination Fitness for Duty Drug and Alcohol Fatigue Medical Monitoring
