Webinar – TfNSW Risk Assessment for Dangerous Goods Through Tunnels Standard (AM in Action – a 2024 Excellence Award Submission)

Part of the Asset Management in Action Webinar Series – showcasing submissions from the 2024 Excellence Awards. Join us for an in-depth webinar on Transport for NSW’s (TfNSW) groundbreaking risk assessment methodology for the transportation of dangerous goods (DG) through tunnels. This project, developed in collaboration with Aurecon, sets a new standard for ensuring safety and efficiency in DG transport, addressing a critical need for consistent decision-making in road authorities.

The webinar will cover:

• The development and implementation of a multimodal standard for DG transport risk assessment, ensuring a repeatable, scalable, and comparable approach.
• The rigorous focus on human-centric safety principles through systems and safety engineering, quantifying risk, and considering consequent design.
• How the standard provides a comparative level of risk for alternative DG transport routes and an absolute level of risk for specific DG freight within tunnels.
• The extensive collaboration and consultation process with stakeholders, including transport operators, regulatory bodies, and emergency services, to validate and refine the risk assessment methodology.

Join us to learn about the key features and contributions of this project, including:

• The integration of best practices and industry standards to ensure alignment with existing safety frameworks and the latest industry advancements.
• The specific steps involved in developing the risk assessment methodology, including risk workshops, utilisation of prior experience, and a robust risk assessment process.
• The benefits of this standard for current and future infrastructure projects, providing road authorities with the necessary information to make informed decisions on the safest routes for DG transport.
