The Situation
Kenya Railways Corporation needed to bring its facilities into full compliance with Kenya’s statutory occupational health and safety requirements, including up-to-date staff training, formal safety audits, and a dedicated fire safety assessment. With operations spanning multiple sites, the Corporation needed a structured, credible process to identify gaps and close them within a defined timeframe.
Our Approach
Between August and November 2020, Trendz & Future Ventures worked with Kenya Railways Corporation to deliver statutory health and safety training, conduct comprehensive workplace safety audits, and carry out a full fire safety audit across their facilities. The engagement was structured to meet regulatory requirements while giving the Corporation’s teams practical, lasting safety competencies. This involved several key steps:
Deliver Statutory Health & Safety Training
Delivered statutory occupational health and safety training to staff across Kenya Railways Corporation, covering legal obligations under Kenya’s health and safety regulations and practical, day-to-day safe working practices.
Conduct Workplace Safety Audits
Conducted formal workplace safety audits across the Corporation’s facilities, identifying hazards, non-conformances, and areas requiring corrective action against statutory occupational safety standards.
Carry Out a Fire Safety Audit
Carried out a dedicated fire safety audit, assessing fire risk, emergency preparedness, and evacuation procedures, and provided a clear set of recommendations to bring facilities up to compliant fire safety standards.
The Results
Staff across multiple Kenya Railways Corporation sites completed statutory health and safety training, strengthening day-to-day safety awareness and compliance culture.
Workplace safety audits identified key hazards and non-conformances, giving the Corporation a clear, prioritized list of corrective actions to close compliance gaps.
The fire safety audit assessed emergency preparedness and evacuation readiness across facilities, resulting in a formal set of recommendations to strengthen fire safety compliance.
The engagement, delivered between August and November 2020, gave Kenya Railways Corporation a documented, statutory-compliant foundation for ongoing occupational health and fire safety management.
Support Ongoing Compliance
Regular follow-up and reporting to help Kenya Railways Corporation maintain compliance and act on audit recommendations as facilities and operations evolve.
“The engagement gave our teams a clear, practical understanding of our statutory safety obligations, and a concrete set of actions to close the gaps identified during the audits.”
