As part of its continuing efforts to ensure passenger safety and operational readiness, the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) conducts regular monthly inspections of its rescue and evacuation equipment in line with its Public Service Continuity Plan (PSCP).

The activity is undertaken in accordance with the PSCP, particularly Page 198, Section XIII on Testing and Maintenance of the Plan, which requires the conduct of functional exercises to assess the condition and reliability of emergency and rescue equipment.

These inspections are led by trained and qualified safety personnel as part of LRTA’s proactive safety and risk management measures.

The inspection covers critical evacuation and rescue tools, including emergency evacuation devices, rescue equipment, and other related safety apparatus. Each item is carefully checked to verify its serviceability, completeness, and proper condition.

Through systematic inspections and proper documentation, LRTA ensures that all rescue and evacuation equipment remains fully functional and readily available in the event of service disruptions, emergencies, or unforeseen incidents. Any deficiencies identified during the inspection were immediately addressed through corrective actions, repair, or replacement, in accordance with established safety protocols.

This regular safety activity supports LRTA’s commitment to uninterrupted public service, effective risk mitigation, and the protection of passengers, employees, and assets.

By institutionalizing regular equipment inspections within its operational framework, LRTA further enhances its emergency preparedness while sustaining safe, reliable, and resilient rail transport services.
