Following the introduction of the Railways and Other Guided Transport Systems (Safety) Regulations in April 2006, LU’s application for Safety Certification and Authorisation was approved by the Office of Rail Regulation in March 2007. The Safety Certification relates to train operation and the Safety Authorisation covers stations and infrastructure operation. The Safety Certificate and Safety Authorisation document (March 2007) replaced LU’s Railway Safety Case (Version 4.0).

Terms and definitions A Accountability - Assigned to the person who has the ultimate responsibility for completion of the activity to the required standard and has the authority to veto. Within LU, this authority resides with the appropriate Executive Director. ALARP - Under UK legislation, LU is required to do whatever is reasonably practicable to reduce the health and safety risks to its employees and others affected by its operations; in other words, risks must be reduced to a level which is as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP). The term reasonably practicable means that safety measures should be undertaken unless the cost, in terms of money, time and trouble, is grossly disproportionate to the safety benefit, which is expressed in terms of the value of the risk averted by the safety measure. Asset - An item of property owned or leased by LU. Asset Life Cycle - The life of an asset can be represented by a series of stages commencing with identification of need through specification, design, manufacture or construct, install, commissioning (sometimes included with installation), operate and maintain (the service life) and ending with withdrawal and disposal. This is one cycle of the asset life cycle. Assuming continued requirement for an asset the commissioning stage of a second life cycle will coincide with withdrawal of the asset used in the first life cycle. Asset Management - Asset Management is the way assets (such as trains, signals, stations and tunnels) are managed throughout their life to achieve the right balance of cost, performance and risk for the organisation. Asset Management covers demand analysis, asset acquisition, operation, maintenance and renewal/disposal and follows a plan, do, check, act process. Automatic Train Operation - The subsystem of automatic train control, responsible for the automatic driving of trains. B None C Category 1 Standard - A standard which is owned by LU, mandatory on LU and members of the LU Group. Version 2.00, © London Underground Limited 2012 vi London Underground - Safety Certification and Safety Authorisation Glossary Category 2 Standard - LU or Tube Lines standards which support LU's requirements stated within Category 1 Standards. They are usually a process or asset related standard. Category 5 Standard – An LU standard which is mandatory within LU only. Client (under CDM Regulations) - Any person for whom a project is carried out, whether it is carried out by another person or is carried out in-house. Competence – A combination of practical and thinking skills, knowledge, experience, fitness and behaviour. Contractor - A company, firm, person, supplier, consultant, sub-contractor, agent or stockist, providing goods, materials or services. Contractors may be company employees. D None.
