London Underground Safety, Sustainability and Human Resources Panel Date: 17 November 2016 Item: Quarterly Health, Safety and Environment Performance Reports 2016/17 1 Summary 1.1 The TfL Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Performance report describes the HSE performance across London Underground, Surface Transport and London Rail for Quarter 2 2016/17, 26 June – 17 September inclusive and performance across Crossrail for Quarter 1 2016/17 1 April – 25 June. 1.2 The Panel’s input on the development of the content of the report and identification of any topics for more in depth discussion at future meetings for inclusion of the forward planner is also sought. 2 Recommendation 2.1 The Panel is asked to note this paper. 3 Background 3.1 There were no accidental customer fatalities on the TfL public transport network. A total of 13 fatalities are attributed to; suicide (nine) and pre existing medical issues (four). There were no employee or contractor fatalities in the quarter. 3.2 Slips, trips and falls continue to be the main cause of customer injury across the network, with incidents continuing to occur on escalators, stairs, the platform train interface (PTI), and on buses. Programmes to militate against customer injury remain on target and within budget. 3.3 For London Underground, PTI performance continues as modelled. This is as a result of a change in the PTI profile due to the introduction of new rolling stock and increase in customers. The majority of incidents result in minor injury. Our mitigation programmes continue on plan and within budget. 3.4 The overall figure for employee injury continues to improve, however, slips, trips and falls resulting in musculoskeletal injury remain as the main cause of injury. We continue to reinforce safe behaviours through on site briefings, revised risk assessments and lessons learned from the ‘Go Look See’ programme. 3.5 Workplace violence and trauma from witnessing incidents continue to be the main causes of Lost Time Injuries (LTIs) across the business. Employees and suppliers absent for more than seven days with minor injuries in our projects / construction areas is a rising trend. Sharing industry leading practice across all the TfL modes including our work with suppliers to bring people back to work, and roll out of our programmes to mitigate against LTI incidents continues on plan. 3.6 Quarter one provisional figures show vulnerable road users killed or seriously injured (KSI) on London’s road rose by 3 per cent. However, all HGV related KSIs were halved in quarter one of 2016 compared with quarter one of 2015. 3.7 There have been no significant incidents within the quarter that meet the criteria to report to the Safety, Sustainability, and Human Resources Panel. 4 Information 4.1 The 2016/17 Quarter 2 Health, Safety and Environment Performance Reports for London Rail, London Underground, and Surface Transport are attached as Appendix 1. 4.2 The 2016/17 Quarter 1 Health, Safety and Environment Performance Report for Crossrail is attached as Appendix 2.

    Date: 8th January 2018 Commercial Development Transport for London 3rd Floor Wing Over Station 55 Broadway By email London SW1H 0BD Phone: 020 7126 4468 Email: [email protected] Dear Sir/Madam, RE: Merton Local Plan 2020, 1st stage consultation Thank you for consulting Transport for London (TfL) on the London Borough of Merton’s draft Local Plan 2020. The following comments represent the views of officers in TfL Commercial Development Planning Team (TfL CD) in its capacity as a significant landowner and are separate from any representations that may be made by TfL in its statutory role as the strategic transport authority for London. TfL CD has been set an ambitious target by the Mayor to commence the development of 10,000 new homes in London by 2021; at least 50% of these new homes must be genuinely affordable. TfL CD has identified a number of sites in the borough for residential led, mixed-use development which will make a significant contribution towards meeting borough and TfL housing targets, as well as improved public transport infrastructure. Our representations in respect of the Call for Sites and the various topics set out in your consultation are set out below. Call for Sites 1. Morden Town Centre Morden has been identified as one of the major growth and housing opportunity areas in south west London by the Mayor of London, TfL and the London Borough of Merton (LBM). There are currently a series of adopted documents which together establish the regeneration context of Morden town centre and specific sites within it.
