Contractor Safety and Environment Prequalification

With a view to effectively manage rail safety in accordance with the Workplace Health and Safety Act 2011 and Rail Safety National Law (Queensland) Act 2017, Queensland Rail has developed the Contractor Safety and Environment Management (CSEM) Program:

1. Depending on the scope of works and the location of the works, contractors are required to complete and submit the relevant Safety and Environment Pre-qualification questionnaires (including supporting evidence) for review and evaluation.
2. Contractors who pass the pre-qualification process are added to Queensland Rail’s “Pre-Qualified Safety and Environment Contractor Register” and are eligible to tender for other works, provided these works are within the same category under which they have been pre-qualified.
3. The validity of the pre-qualification is two (2) years and may be extended under certain conditions.

Tenderers for the Toowoomba Range Slope Stabilisation project and subsequent tenders are required to comply with this new process. For further information on the CSEM Program, refer to the webpage below :
