Basis for Recommendation
There is no Traction Manual for the 8520 Class DART fleet for drivers to refer to when setting up the air conditioning on the train; and there may be insufficient training.

Recommendation
IÉ-RU Head of Health & Safety, in conjunction with the Chief Mechanical Engineer’s Department (CME), should develop Traction Manual for the entire 8500 Class DART fleet; this should include guidance on the air conditioning. Once complete, this should be briefed to drivers to ensure drivers fully understand how the air conditioning operates.
