Introduction1. Reporting requirements in VictoriaVictoria’s light rail transport operators and a number of stand-alone heavy rail tourist and heritage operators are required to report certain types of rail incidents to Transport Safety Victoria (TSV) in accordance with the requirements of the Rail Safety (Local Operations) Act 2006 (Vic) (RSLOA) and Rail Safety (Local Operations) (Accreditation and Safety) Regulations 2017 (Vic) (RSLOASR).

TSV uses the data it collects from those operators to monitor trends and safety risks across the Victorian transport network.

2. Changes to informationThe information contained in this report is the intellectual property of TSV and is year-to-date (YTD) June 2019. It is sourced from its Occurrence Database, which stores data as reported to TSV by rail operators, as 30 June 2019. The information might be adjusted to reflect new information that comes to light at any time without prior notice. Consequently, minor variations may exist when compared with previous publications.1

Variations in information from year to year are evident in this report. Improvements in safety are generally expected to occur over time as enhancements are made to systems. Low frequency - high consequence events such as those occasionally experienced in the transport industry, and changes to transport demand, such as increasing patronage, can also result in variations in the information.

3. DefinitionsRailway accident or incident is defined in the RSLOASR as:

an accident or incident on railway premises that results ino the death of a persono a person requiring immediate treatment as an in-patient in a hospital

a running line derailment of any unit of rolling stock a collision between any rolling stock and any person a collision between any rolling stock and any other vehicle, infrastructure, obstruction or object

which resulted in significant property damage an implosion, explosion, fire or other occurrence which resulted in significant property damage a notifiable accident or incident.

Notifiable circumstance as defined in the RSLOASR means a circumstance, act or omission that resulted, or had the potential to result, in the death or serious injury to any person, or significant damage to property. The definition includes:

any defect in, or failure of, any part of the rail infrastructure any defect in, or failure of, any rolling stock or part of any rolling stock any failure or breach of any rail operations practice, procedure or rule any other circumstance, act or omission that the Safety Director has specified under regulation

42(2) to be a notifiable circumstance.

TSV uses the Guideline for the Top Event Classification of Notifiable Occurrences as a resource when classifying rail incidents (Occurrence Classification-Guideline One (OC-G1)).

1 TSV has recently conducted a review and validation process on all historical incidents into a new system of data capture. In consultation with KDR, a small number of incidents were reclassified as a result of this review and validation process

3.1. Serious injuryDefined in the RSLOASR as “a person requiring immediate treatment as an in-patient in a hospital”.

3.2. Person type A passenger is a person travelling or intending to travel. A public is any other person affected by a railway occurrence. A trespasser is a person on railway premises who, whether intentionally or negligently, is in a

place they have no right or authority to be or for the purpose of carrying out unauthorised activities.

3.3. CollisionWhen a tram strikes another tram, obstruction, person or other object or is struck by another object.

3.4. DerailmentWhen one or more tram wheels leave the rail or track during railway operations.

3.5. Suspected suicide or attempted suicide Suspected suicide is any suspected suicide that takes place in or from railway property. Attempted suicide refers to any person who unsuccessfully attempts to take their own life on

railway property.

3.6. Broken rail A fracture of the rail in a running line including a broken joint or weld, or detachment of a piece

from the rail which necessitates an immediate stoppage of traffic or the immediate imposition of a speed restriction lower than that currently in force.
