This module is applicable to the Supply Chain Operations managed fleet where Network Rail is identified as the Entity in Charge of Maintenance (ECM) on the National Vehicle Register (NVR).

This module is applicable to all SCO teams responsible for the engineering and management of SCO T&RS and OTM assets.

The initial response to mainline incidents and accidents is not covered by this module; this is led by the Transport Undertaking (TU) or Plant Operator under their Post Incident and Accident Inspection processes. This includes;

a) Safe recovery of the vehicle, including removal from the network.

b) Collection and provision of evidence from the scene as required.

SCO owned assets which have a third party ECM identified in the NVR are not in scope of this manual.

On-Track Plant (OTP), Mobile Depot Plant (MDP) and Fixed Depot Plant (FDP) are not in scope of this manual.

a) Identify the causes of the incident or accident.

b) Collect and provide evidence.

c) Manage the safe release vehicles to traffic.

d) Input failure data into safety performance monitoring.

The application of the requirements and procedures contained within this module mitigate the following high level risks:

a) Non-compliance with legislation and regulatory requirements.

b) Maintenance safety risks posed to staff undertaking maintenance on Network Rail On Track Machines (OTM) and Traction and Rolling Stock (T&RS) assets.
