PFD Monitor interpretation

Failure to provide a positive response to safety reports concerning the passage footbridge

Wider context from the report

“At Mr Murphy's Inquest, I was told in evidence that following his death the British Transport Police submitted to South West Trains a Post Fatality Site Survey Report highlighting appropriate measures for the passage footbridge at Liss Station to reduce the risk of persons climbing over the parapet of the footbridge as Mr Murphy had done. I was also told that the British Transport Police had received no positive response regarding its report from South West Trains. I attach a copy of the British Transport Police report to this report. I believe that South West Trains should consider taking the measures set out in the British Transport Police report to prevent future deaths in similar circumstances to Mr Murphy's death. ”
