System Access Rules

RIW System Access Rules for Assessors



The Rail Industry Worker (RIW) Program provides an online competency and safety management system for Australian rail workers and operators (RIW System).  The RIW System is owned and endorsed by the Australasian Railway Association (ARA) and operated by Metro Trains Australia Pty Ltd (MTA).

These Rules set out terms and conditions that apply to use of the RIW System by:

  1. An employee or contractor of an RIW Participant (as defined below) who has been granted an Assessor login to the RIW System; and
  2. Rail transport operators and other organisations that are authorised participants in the RIW Program (RIW Participants) who hold an Assessor user permission to access the RIW System,

(collectively Assessor Users). 

Assessor Users are granted access to the RIW System for the purpose of reviewing evidence and performing Job Role Assessments for RIWs (Permitted Purpose).

Assessor Users and RIW Participants must comply with these Rules, including to protect information stored on the RIW System (RIW Information).  Assessor Users and RIW Participants will be responsible for ensuring that each user who accesses the RIW System on their behalf complies with these Rules.  Without limitation Assessor Users and RIW Participants must:

  1. Implement practices, procedures and systems to ensure that their authorised users comply with these Rules (including notifying the RIW Service Desk in the event of a breach);
  2. Regularly monitor and assess privacy and security measures in place regarding access to and use of the RIW System by their authorised users; and
  3. On at least an annual basis, audit compliance with these Rules by their authorised users.

All actions taken by users of the RIW System are logged and will be subject to audit to ensure compliance with these Rules and other terms and conditions that apply to the RIW Program. 

By accessing, logging on to or using the RIW System you agree to be bound by the terms set out below. If you do not agree to these terms, please log out of the RIW System immediately.

You must:

  3. Indemnify MTA for any costs and expenses incurred by MTA in investigating and remedying any breach of these terms (including costs and expenses incurred by MTA in the restoration of any affected RIW Information, which for the avoidance of doubt, would include any RIW Information that has been deleted, misrepresented or falsified);

Rules review and amendment
