Since April 2006, the health and safety regulator for UK rail has been the Office of Rail Regulation, or ORR. Anyone thinking of making a compensation claim related to a railway accident, then, is likely to be interested in this organisation.
Before 2006, its remit was to watch over the economic regularity of the rail service; it inherited this aspect of its duties from the Health and Safety Executive, or HSE. Of its current key tasks, which include the responsibility to ensure that Network Rail keeps the track in appropriate condition, monitoring access to the track for operators and enforcing competition, it is its health and safety role that is of most relevance to personal injury claimants.
The organisation moves to enforce compliance with safety law, and to encourage improvement in all rail companies' safety records. It is possible, then, that a failure to meet health and safety standards may be traced to the rail company responsible or to ORR, depending on whether ORR had passed substandard practice in its line of work. This can be a complex chain of evidence to follow, and could be one of the reasons why an injured party may choose to hire a no win, no fee solicitor.
Its website, www.rail-reg.gov.uk, provides access to news, legal updates, consultation papers and contractual details. It also features statistics on the age and movement of the rolling stock of various train companies, which may have slight bearing on a compensation claim.
