Collection <strong>of</strong> examples <strong>of</strong> risk assessments and <strong>of</strong> some possible tools<br />
supporting the <strong>CSM</strong> Regulation<br />
<br />
analysis is to analyse the global safety level <strong>of</strong> the tunnel rather than to analyse<br />
the safety individually at more detailed levels, the consequences <strong>of</strong> all<br />
scenarios are summed to get the overall risk level <strong>for</strong> the tunnel;<br />
(ii) the acceptability <strong>of</strong> this global risk level <strong>for</strong> the tunnel is to be compared with<br />
the following explicit quantitative risk acceptance criterion. "railway traffic per<br />
kilometer in tunnels shall be as safe as railway traffic per kilometer on open air<br />
tracks, excluding level crossings". This criterion is trans<strong>for</strong>med into an F-N<br />
curve based on historic data <strong>of</strong> railway accidents in Sweden and is<br />
extrapolated to cover also consequences that are not present in the statistics;<br />
(iii) beside this criterion <strong>for</strong> the global risk level <strong>of</strong> the tunnel, there are also<br />
additional requirements to be fulfilled specifically <strong>for</strong> evacuation in tunnels and<br />
possibilities <strong>for</strong> the rescue services:<br />
<br />
<br />
verify that self rescue is possible in the case <strong>of</strong> fire in a train <strong>for</strong> a "credible<br />
worst case" (criteria <strong>for</strong> this assessment are also given);<br />
the tunnel should be planned to allow rescue ef<strong>for</strong>ts to be possible <strong>for</strong> a<br />
given set <strong>of</strong> scenarios;<br />
(5) output from the risk assessment [section 2.1.6]:<br />
The outputs <strong>of</strong> the risk assessment are:<br />
(i) a list <strong>of</strong> safety measures from the minimum standard based on TSI-SRT and<br />
national rules to be used <strong>for</strong> the design <strong>of</strong> the tunnel, and;<br />
(ii) all additional safety measures identified as necessary by the risk analysis,<br />
indicating their purpose. It is stated that measures should be decided upon<br />
according to the following priority order:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
prevent accidents;<br />
reduce consequences <strong>of</strong> accidents;<br />
facilitate evacuation;<br />
facilitate rescue ef<strong>for</strong>ts;<br />
(6) hazard management [section 4.1]:<br />
The guideline does not explicitly demand to keep a hazard record. This is related to<br />
the fact that the level <strong>of</strong> the assessment is global and there<strong>for</strong>e, hazards are not<br />
evaluated and controlled individually. The acceptability <strong>of</strong> the global risk <strong>of</strong> the<br />
tunnel is evaluated, without any apportionment <strong>of</strong> the global risk acceptance<br />
criterion down to the different types <strong>of</strong> accidents or underlying hazards.<br />
There is however a list <strong>of</strong> all the safety measures, both those resulting from the<br />
"minimum standard" and those identified as necessary by the risk analysis: see<br />
point (a)(5)(ii) here above. It should be indicated in the list <strong>of</strong> safety measures<br />
whether they concern the tunnel infrastructure, the track, the operations or the<br />
rolling stock and also what their intended effect are according to the numbered list<br />
in point (a)(5)(ii). But the guideline does not request to explicitly state what hazards<br />
the safety measures are controlling and who is responsible <strong>for</strong> which measures.<br />
(7) independent assessment [Article 6]:<br />
An independent assessment by a third party is mandatory in order:<br />
(i) to check that the risk assessment process recommended by the BVH 585.30<br />
guideline is correctly done;<br />
(ii) to consider the risk analysis acceptable;<br />
(iii) to check that it is clearly indicated how the future safety management should<br />
be per<strong>for</strong>med in the project;<br />
The final risk analysis document is signed by the independent assessor and also by<br />
safety coordinator within the project.<br />
