Dear Colleague,

NETWORK RAIL – RMT H&S REP TO AID SAFER TRACKSIDE WORKING PROGRAMME

Network Rail has informed me that that Bro. James Smith has stood down as an RMT H&S Rep on this Programme; he has provided the company with valuable support with regard to the trackworker safer working projects he was involved with. The company has asked me to provide it with a replacement representative as soon as possible so that they can be brought up to speed with its projects and progress.

On 6th October 2020 your National Executive Committee noted and adopted the following report from its Health and Safety Sub-committee:

We note the correspondence from Network Rail.

The General Secretary is instructed to write to the Lead Union Health and Safety Representatives seeking their views on who they believe is suitable to fill this position. Once an agreed name is put forward (and he/ she agrees to take up the role), the General Secretary is instructed to write to the company confirming RMT’s nominee.

Branches and Regional Councils to be informed.

I am acting in accordance with these instructions. Please make the contents of this Circular available to all appropriate members.

Yours sincerely

Mick Cash
General Secretary
