# THE RAILWAYS (SAFETY MANAGEMENT) REGULATIONS (NORTHERN IRELAND) 2006, Paragraph 11


The third assessment step must verify whether it is the first time in the last 3 years that the second assessment step did not return evidence of acceptable safety performance. If this is the case, the outcome of the third assessment step must be classified as ‘passed’. The procedure must continue with the fourth step, whatever the outcome of the third step may be.
