Confidential Incident Reporting & Analysis System for the rail industry




As A. A. Security is due to be assessed for competency related to supplying the Rail Industry, we are now obliged to advise our employees of CIRAS, a scheme that is designed to make health and safety reporting more conjusive to our employees:

CIRAS is the Confidential Incident Reporting & Analysis System for the rail industry. It is an alternative way for anyone working on or around the railway to report safety concerns that they feel unable to report through company safety channels. It is an independent and confidential way to report safety concerns without fear of recrimination.

All Railway Group member companies, including train and freight operating companies, Network Rail, contractors and LUL are enrolled in the system so it is available to all rail personnel.

CIRAS collects information from railway personnel on safety concerns and incidents that may not be captured in other ways. It aims to improve understanding of what goes wrong when incidents and accidents happen on the railways. Whether you are frontline staff or a manager in a rail company this site should be of interest to you.

You can now contact CIRAS by calling Freephone 0800 4 101 101, writing to Freepost CIRAS or texting 07507 285887 (standard text rates apply).
