NR/L3/CIV/185
Management of Reports of Safety Related Geotechnical Incidents - This standard should only be used for reference to ensure 'The Control of Risk' until the compliance date of its replacement standard is reached, upon which this standard will be withdrawn. The development of all new processes and procedures should be to the replacement standard

scope:
This work instruction outlines the procedures for reporting geotechnical incidents.
Reportable incidents include the following earthwork failure types:
a) Slope failures;
b) Failures of nailed or reinforced soil structures;
c) Failures of rock slope support systems;
d) Mining related failures.
Further details of earthworks failure types can be found in Appendix A.
Procedures for reporting M6 earthwork failures are documented separately under NR/L3/CIV/185/01.
Purpose
This work instruction manages, 'the receipt of ad -hoc reports from train operating companies, freight operating companies, Network Rail staff and earthworks reporting
procedures', to mitigate the risks of:
a) loss of track support and/or track geometry;
b) slope failure leading to loss of kinematic envelope and/or track geometry.
