scope:

Introduction

The purpose of this pack is to assist with Awareness Briefing of Network Rail standards and controls changes published in June 2018

• Detailed technical briefings to those who have a role or responsibility for applying the standard are planned and delivered by the Working Group that developed the standard.

• Where a person/manager identifies the need to receive a technical brief which has not been planned, this can be requested through the person identified as the Working Group Chair on the front cover of the standard.

• Where standards are of a particular interest to a team/person, they may seek further information by referring to the standard or its briefing note at the back of the standard.

Line Managers may customise this pack by entering their [Function] at the top of each slide and by adding or deleting relevant slides from the pack.
