Review of IRMP Clause Samples
The 'Review of IRMP' clause establishes the requirement for periodic evaluation and updating of the Incident Response and Management Plan (IRMP). In practice, this means that the organization must regularly assess the effectiveness of its IRMP, taking into account changes in technology, business processes, or regulatory requirements, and make necessary adjustments to ensure continued relevance and adequacy. This clause ensures that the IRMP remains current and effective, thereby enhancing the organization's preparedness for incident response and minimizing potential risks.
Review of IRMP. (a) The Operator and Queensland Rail must:
(i) upon the reasonable request at any time by either of them; or
(ii) if the Operator changes its Operating Plan (in which case the Operator must provide a copy of the amended Operating Plan to Queensland Rail); and
(iii) for any new or varied Train Services or Ad Hoc Train Services from time to time, jointly review the IRMP, and amend it (including by replacing it) as necessary, to ensure that the Operator and Queensland Rail continue to agree that the Interface Risk Assessment is still applicable and all reasonably foreseeable Interface Risks are effectively managed under the IRMP.
(b) For the purposes of a review referred to in clause 9.2(a):
(i) if either Queensland Rail or the Operator is not satisfied that the Interface Risk Assessment is still applicable and all reasonably foreseeable Interface Risks are effectively managed under the IRMP, then those Parties will undertake a joint Interface Risk Assessment (including, if those Parties agree that it is appropriate, only in relation to specific matters or activities) as part of such a review;
(ii) Queensland Rail (acting reasonably) may request that the Operator review and update its EIRMR and provide Queensland Rail with a copy of its updated EIRMR prior to and for the purposes of the Parties undertaking a joint Interface Risk Assessment; and
(iii) if Queensland Rail and the Operator are not able to agree any matter in relation to such a review, either of those Parties may treat that inability to agree as a Dispute for the purposes of clause 19.
(c) For clarity, the Operator must not:
(i) operate any new or varied Train Services under this agreement unless the IRMP has been reviewed in accordance with this clause 9.2 in relation to those new or varied Train Services (as applicable); and
(ii) use any Rolling Stock or Train Configuration in operating a Train Service unless the IRMP has either been:
(A) prepared on the basis of the Train Services being operated using that Rolling Stock or Train Configuration (as applicable); or
(B) reviewed in accordance with this clause 9.2 in relation to that Rolling Stock or Train Configuration (as applicable).
(d) For administrative ease, the IRMP may be amended by the exchange of written notices by the duly authorised representatives of the Parties.
