Unions to decide safety inspections on LUL track?
Groupers
Mr Crow is to decide how safety inspections are carried out on the Underground, see BBC news http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/3290499.stm. 1. Does anyone know what qualifications and experience Mr Crow (and presumably his advisors) have that makes them expert on this? 2. Then, if they're the experts, why aren't they already management, making these decisions? 3. Then, logically, when are the currently employed managers going to be fired and replaced by the union experts? Any enlightenment highly appreciated! John |

Mr Crow is to decide how safety inspections are carried out on the
Underground, see BBC news Not true - Its not "how" - its "how often" as I see it. Said they (inspections) used to be every 24 hrs but over yrs has been moved to every 72 hrs in some cases - increasing potential risk. |

From: (JDikseun)
Date: 05/12/2003 09:12 GMT Standard Time Mr Crow is to decide how safety inspections are carried out on the Underground, see BBC news http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/3290499.stm. 1. Does anyone know what qualifications and experience Mr Crow (and presumably his advisors) have that makes them expert on this? Probably about as much as Jarvis, so why should it matter? |

Mr Crow is to decide how safety inspections are carried out on the Underground, see BBC news Not true - Its not "how" - its "how often" as I see it. Said they (inspections) used to be every 24 hrs but over yrs has been moved to every 72 hrs in some cases - increasing potential risk. I think you missed the point. I just think it's in everyone's interests to have the right people making decisions about safety regimes. So what we should be asking is: Is Mr Crow suitably qualified and experienced to even be making these decisions? Btw (off topic, but to address your question): Inspection frequency is based on a very wide range of factors, one of them being metallurgical quality. Steel in the 60's was poor quality, and flaws were common. So more frequent inspections made sense. Also, ultrasonic testing did not exist. Vastly better quality steel, plus ultrasonic testing, makes more frequent patrolling a waste of money. If Mr Crow was an expert, he'd know this! Anyway, they're looking at a whole lot more than just frequency of inspections. |
