About

Australian Railway Risk Model (ARRM)

ARRM is an objective, quantitative tool that provides the railway with a deep, robust and comprehensive picture of safety risk. It is used to inform:

  • Investment decisions by both government/s and rail companies
  • Safety cases
  • ARISO’s work program of Australian Standards, Codes of Practice, Guidelines and Rules
  • Research
  • Cross-industry collaboration

For participating rail companies, ARRM provides organisationally specific risk information that users can interrogate in multiple ways (through a simple and user friendly interface) to produce a wide range of reports. It provides the ability to benchmark your levels of risk against anonymised aggregated risk information from other similar rail organisations. ARRM’s risk information can help to identify areas for improvement, support safety initiatives, and/or be presented to the Executive to feed into decision making.

Note:

If you are already participating in ARRM, go directly to arrm.org.au. The portal includes help, tutorial videos and a feedback area for issues and improvement requests.
