Speakers

  • Tony Cox: CMIOSH

Health & Safety consultant.

More than forty years employed by the Regulator first as HM Inspector of Factories then as HM Inspector of Railways encompassing developments in UK & EU health & safety pre- Robens until retirement in the current decade. Became a IOSH RSP in 1989 and a Chartered Member in 2005. Experience in investigation, inspection and enforcement in most industry, service and railway sectors during that time.

  • David Butler: CMIOSH H&S Manager

(Strategic) Network Rail High Output Track Renewals

A business studies graduate, chartered H&S practitioner and former member of the Institute of Industrial Accident Investigation (MIIAI), I have been advising on H&S for over 15 years. I have experience in UK railway Railtrack, Railway Safety , RSSB, logistics and warehousing and retail – Royal Mail, Parcel Force and Amazon. Former chair of the Parcel Carriers’ Safety Association. Contributed to High Output achieving the British Safety Council 5 Star Audit award and Sword of Honour 3 years running.

Introduction

  • Recent branch planning meeting –how we could help

members to be more confident when encountering situations well outside of their comfort zone

  • Chiltern is not a specialist group but we came up

with railway situation which we felt most if not all, are likely to be unfamiliar.

  • The example is real and we expect you to use first

principles to identify the various issues – and at the end David will tell you what actually has happened.

Introduction continued..

  • The situation could arise as part of investigation,

audit or even regulatory enforcement.

  • expect tables to pool H&S experiences and to work

as a group.

  • Our time will be broadly divided into 3 sessions:
  • Session 1: basic analysis and feedback. Followed by

discussion on findings and greater speaker explanation.

  • Session 2: Further analysis and feedback
  • Session 3: Where are we now?

Setting the scene

  • Network Rail currently has 20000 miles of track

covering the UK.

  • Our railways are one of the most intensively used in

the world – much of the infrastructure was laid down in the 19 century.

  • It needs regular maintenance to keep the trains

running – the scene of teams working trackside is going with introduction of mechanised inspection and maintenance equipment with better specification

  • f materials and design of equipment used. And a

lot of work now takes place at night.

Setting the scene

  • Most of it is ballasted track where the rails are supported on a

base or foundation of crushed stone. Sleepers are used to keep the rails in gauge using fastenings, usually clips. Ballast ensures the rail is kept level and allows drainage.

slide-8
SLIDE 8

Setting the scene

  • Network Rail uses a number specialised machines to

for track maintenance or replacement.

  • Ballast: HIGH OUTPUT BALLAST CLEANER (HOBC).
  • There are now 4 HOBC machines in the country

costing about £20million each - sufficient to cover the routes including conductor rail DC (Southern).

  • They are normally used at night. After setting up

you probably on get 1hour or less work before the track has to be handed back to the operational railway.

  • At first sight it all seems complicated but..

HOBC Machine

  • Video of BCS in operation (2010)
  • The whole working unit can be over ½ Mile (.8km)

long.

  • Staffing: team of 50-70 people are required per shift

to operate the unit (depends on condition of old ballast, extent of possession available etc etc). 8-12 will be operators and managers/supervisors.

  • Each shift costs around £100-150k to run

(missed/cancelled shifts are thus expensive).

Over to you

  • Think outside the box – there are at least 16 areas
  • f potential interest.
  • Some of these are interrelated
