The Orange Book
#1
No I am not colour blind I don't mean The Yellow Book!

Orange Book: Management of Risk- Principles and Concepts.

It's not often that HM Treasury give anything away free (unless you are a bankrupt bank that is!), so download from:

http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/Search.asp...range+book

Of course the Yellow Book is also available for download free as well from:

Sounds as if LUL refers to it, but wider than just LUL. Dowload it, read it and lets us know the answer to your question!

As one who has come across the Orange Book in a previous role, and I am now in the London metro environment I would say yes it is something one needs to be aware of. The full title is self explanatory - concepts and principles of managing risk.

Not sure which Blue Book you have found; I have yet to discover one particularly relevant to our line of work. There is the one re UK National Statistics as well as many others less relevant; which were ou meaning? Please share the link.

There is a Treasury Green Book that is certainly of some relevance to those of us in the rail industry, particularly wen viewing "the system" on the scale of the entire country and the sub-system requirements that flow from it. Risk is regrded as more fnancial / societial than directly the safety risks which we often consider, but certainly worth a "skim and dip into interesting settions" sort of read. Primarily it is about Appraising Projects.
See http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/data_greenbook_index.htm


For those people still on the old British Rail Condiions of Service re employment rights, the Red Book is very interesting on a personal basis.......

I have often heard the HMR!'s RSPG series (see bottom of the list) referred to as the "blue book" for the relevant area of the railway.

Of course! Even though not explicitly labelled as such...
