scope:

This module provides:

a) a list of Network Rail standards that apply to High Street Environment projects and confirms whether each standard applies to:

  1) all projects, whether they are High Street Environment in nature; or

  2) High Street Environment projects under particular circumstances.

b) a suite of template documents that can be used to support the following types of projects when directed by the process in NR/L3/OHS/005:

1) car parks:

   i. near track, servicing station.

   ii. near incomplete track and/or station, to service station when track and/or station are complete.

   iii. near track, not servicing station.iv. away from track, not servicing station.

2) office buildings:

   i. near track.

  ii. away from track.

3) electric Vehicle (EV) charging point installation in a car park.

4) solar panel installation on roof of an office building.

5) electricity meter installation in an office building.

6) refit of a retail unit installed under a viaduct arch

7) repair or replacement of a roof or canopy on a building away from the operational railway

8) refit of a retail unit in a station concourse or similar 

NOTE: The templates have been prepared in support of the CSM-RA process in accordance with NR/L2/RSE/100/02. 

This module does not apply to any project that does not meet the definition of High Street Environment or has the potential to transfer safety risk to or from the operational railway. 

A user guide explaining the steps required to modify and complete the supporting documents is available in the Network Rail IMS. Where external users wish to use the user guide, they should request a copy from their Network Rail point of contact.

Purpose 

This module provides references to a catalogue of supporting documents that: 

a) help Network Rail teams decide whether a project is a High Street Environment project; 

NOTE: The decision is made by completing a Common Safety Method Risk Assessment (CSM-RA) for a limited set of generic High Street Environment (HSE) design and construction project scenarios . For each scenario, the following are provided: 

  1) System Definition based on NR/L2/RSE/100, Module 02, Form 06 

  2) Hazard and Operability Assessment (HAZOP) 

  3) Condensed list of hazards (HAZID) 

  4) Hazard Record 

  5) Context and Interface Diagram 

b) confirm which Network Rail standards are to be applied to the same limited set of High Street Environment projects.
