ALL BRANCHES

Dear Colleague,

NETWORK RAIL- REVISIONS TO THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE PROCEDURE AGREEMENT

Network Rail wrote to me on 31 January inviting the RMT to participate in meetings to discuss proposed change to the above, which was last updated in 2011.

The initial meeting will set the context for change and present to us the new Network Rail organisational structures.

At its meeting on 18th February the NEC noted and adopted the following report:

We note the request from the company to review the Health, Safety and Welfare Procedure. We instruct the General Secretary to arrange a meeting with the company and our Lead Officer, two Lead Union Health and Safety Representatives and one Co-ordinator from each of the National Operations Council and National Maintenance Council. The General Secretary is further instructed to provide this National Executive Committee with regular updates.

All Branches and Regional Councils to be informed.

I am acting in accordance with these instructions and will keep you informed of developments. Please make the contents of this Circular available to all appropriate members.

Yours sincerely

Mick Cash
General Secretary
