High Speed Two (HS2) is a project run by the Department for Transport (DfT).
The Health and Safety Executive is the enforcing authority for the majority of activities related to construction works associated with HS2.
ORR's engagement with the project addresses how HS2 is designed to deliver safety in operation, as well as working to ensure integration into the UK rail network.
Following a consultation in 2017, we published a regulatory statement on 9 April 2018. The statement sets out how we propose to take into account the future operation of HS2 when making decisions about access to the existing network.
