Section 151.06 - Hazard Management Process(1) The Transportation Authority shall incorporate the following process, as approved by the Department, in its SSPP or PTASP to identify and resolve hazards during operation, including hazards resulting from subsequent system extensions or modifications or operational or environmental changes or hazards discovered during reviews, inspections or investigations.(2)Hazard Tracking Log. The Transportation Authority shall consolidate all hazard information developed pursuant to its various methodologies for identifying and assessing hazards into a single, coordinated process. This process may include worksheets, forms, computer databases and other tools to support standardization and organization of hazard information. Based on this process, the Transportation Authority shall establish a Hazard Tracking Log that reflects the consolidation of information in the hazard management process by listing all identified hazards. The Hazard Tracking Log may be organized by assigned number, type of hazard, source from which it was identified, or element of the Transportation Authority's operation affected by the hazard (i.e., facilities, vehicles, track and signal, communications, tunnel ventilation, personnel training procedures, Form B, internal audits, rules compliance testing, and safety hotline, etc.), requirements for ongoing reporting to the Department regarding hazard management activities, and the status of the hazard. The Transportation Authority shall submit the Hazard Tracking Log as part of its SSPP or PTASP for review and approval. Upon approval, the Hazard Tracking Log shall be continuously available to the Department staff for review.(3)Hazard Categorization. The Transportation Authority shall include a formal process to assess and document the risk of each identified hazard. Safety risks must be evaluated in terms of probability and severity, and shall take into account mitigations already in place to reduce the probability or severity of the potential consequence(s) analyzed. The formal process shall include a Risk Assessment Matrix that assigns a Risk Assessment Code based on the combination of one severity category and one probability level.(4)Hazard Notification.(a) The Transportation Authority shall notify the Department, at a minimum, of any condition meeting the two highest risk levels identified within the Risk Assessment Matrix.(b) The Transportation Authority shall notify the Department within the time limit and in the format determined by the Department.(c) After initial notification, the Department may require the Transportation Authority to conduct further activities in order to provide more detailed information, including conducting an investigation pursuant to 220 CMR 151.09(3) through (9).Amended by Mass Register Issue 1354, eff. 12/15/2017.
