RISQS H&S Advisors (Formerly known as Link-up)
HCC Grp Ltd recognise that many companies, especially if you are trying to break into the Rail industry as a new supply chain company would not be aware of the changes that were made by Network Rail in a re-brand and new scheme ownership from Link-up to RISQS.
What was formerly known as Link-up is now branded as the RISQS scheme which is the Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme. The scheme is broken down into 4 specific Audit protocols which include:
- Industry Minimum Requirements (IMR)
- Sentinel (Sponsorship Protocol)
- POS (Plant Operating Scheme)
- RIPS (Railway Interface Planning Scheme)
For a more detailed breakdown of our Rail Consulting Services visit our Rail Consulting Services page.
RISQS has been developed to provide a service for the qualification of suppliers for all products and services that are procured by the Rail industry.
The RISQS scheme supports Network Rail, LUL/Transport for London, Passenger - Light Rail and Freight Train Operators, Rolling Stock Organisations, Main Infrastructure Contractors and other rail products and services providers in the management of supply chain risk.
RISQS is an independent, third party qualification assessment of a supplier’s capability to supply products and services.
