ATHRA Health Survey results

On 14 August 2025, ATHRA wrote to the National Transport Commission with results from the recent survey on the impact of the 2024 National Standard for Health Assessment of Rail Safety Workers to Tourist and Heritage rail operators.

Key points raised in the letter are:

  • Summary of ATHRA health survey responses
  • Questions raised by the survey
  • Support for options available to reduce the regulatory burden associated with the implementation of the Standard for smaller, isolated and low risk Tourist and Heritage operators.
  • Full analysis of ATHRA health survey responses
