Thanks must go to the numerous individuals within British Railways and also the Railway Inspectorate, who supported the research and gave up their time to be interviewed. Obviously this study could not have been undertaken without the co-operation of staff across British Railways, and it could not have proved such a rich source of data without the frankness and honesty with which they approached the interviews.

I am very grateful to them and sincerely hope that this work has already helped to improve occupational health and safety on the railways and that it will contribute to future improvements in this and other industries. [Pg.5]

I suppose there are people on British Railways that don t know about safety representatives because you know in an organization as large as this you ve got to have an example of just about every possibility. .. how many people don t know who is responsible for health and safety, I think it ain t more than a very, very few. They may not know the names of the person, but they must know a bit, enough about the principles to know that there is a sort of initiative on British Railways, (director)... [Pg.155]

British Railways Board are very keen and very interested in a safe environment for all of its staff for a variety of reasons, (a) the social implications because of the individual members and (b) at the end of the day—and this is probably [how] the railway are actually looking at it—but if you have somebody injured or killed it is an awful lot of money to retrain or replace that person so at the end of the day it is in our interest to look after our men and staff, (manager, interviewee 26)... [Pg.254]
