Across the rail industry there are a variety of roles where people have safety duties and responsibilities within their job remit, which are discharged in accordance with health and safety law.

However, definitions of what constitutes a ‘safety critical role’ vary across the rail industry, so it is not possible to provide a definitive answer to this question.
