scope:

This standard applies to any LCM, a person competent to carry out the role of an LCM and those involved in the management of these individuals.

Purpose

This standard details the competency assessment process used to assess the competencies required by Level Crossing Managers (LCMs) to undertake safety critical risk assessments of level crossings.

It helps assure that the competencies are understood and applied correctly and consistently. Application of this standard enables Network Rail to be confident that the safety of those who travel over our level crossings are assessed by those with the necessary skills to do so.

NOTE: The level crossing competence Authority to Work together with relevant Assessment in The Line (AiTL) give LCM's their authority to undertake their role.
