Abstract
In 2008 / 2009, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) was faced with a new challenge in that it had to regulate the first railway lines to be established in the Emirate of Dubai, namely the Palm Jumeirah Transit System and the Dubai Metro Red Line. To respond to this task, the RTA conducted an extensive industry consultation exercise; eventually reaching a conclusion that a Dubai Safety Regulatory Authority (SRA) was required to be established. This presentation provides a summary and insight into the development of the SRA utilizing a risk-based approach. This includes review of development of legislation, roles and responsibilities within the SRA and powers. The presentation will demonstrate the application of the developed legislation in respect to the certification cycle of the rail systems in Dubai and elaborate on how risk management plays an integral part of the compliance process.
