## About this tender

For more than 30 years the rail industry has collectively assessed and co-operated in the management of the safety aspects of its operations and has actively measured and considered how to reduce the level of safety risk that has arisen in connection with rail operations.

The industry management of health risk is less well-established than its management of safety risk, and it is seeking to strengthen its approach, by making improvements in the way it collectively assesses and co-operates in the management of the health aspects of its operations, and in exploring what sort of health and wellbeing data it should collect and the metrics it should define to achieve this.

A recent RSSB R&D project (T1094) focussed on identifying and agreeing the health data that the industry is currently focussed on collecting.

However, while health & wellbeing data requirements have been identified in the above work, there has not yet been any real focus on how to bring together that data so that the different causes of ill health can be compared, and monitoring and prioritisation be carried out for health conditions.

It follows from this, that there is not yet any way of comparing the risks from safety with the risks from health, so that monitoring and prioritisation can take place across the safety, health and wellbeing spectrum. This is a key focus for the current project.

Therefore RSSB seeks to:

- Develop a means of bringing together health and wellbeing data collected by the industry, into a set of composite metrics that can be used effectively to monitor health and wellbeing performance, and prioritise investment decisions.
- Explore how best to use health and wellbeing composite metrics in conjunction with existing (or new) safety performance metrics, to enable an effective way of monitoring and prioritising investment decisions across the safety, health and wellbeing spectrum.
- Ensure and demonstrate that the health & wellbeing risk is being collaboratively managed so far as is reasonably practicable.

Please see attached draft specification for full details.

We would like to invite suppliers to an engagement day at RSSB's office on 30/05/19 10:00-12:00 to discuss and provide input into the scope of the project, identify risks and ensure that the resulting tender is both attractive to the market and allows suppliers to put forward innovative ideas.
