• Difficult times ahead
• Change causes distraction
• Distraction increases risk of lapses leading to injuries
• We are in a time of high safety risk

We need to ask the people digging the hole how we take safety to the next level

What does this all mean for Safety?

Using Technology to Improve Safety within High Output: Safe & Efficient Access

David M Underwood Director of Engineering, Design & Improvement

Introduction

• Network Rail High Output Fleet:

2 Track Relaying Systems (TRS) 5 Ballast Cleaning Systems (BCS)

• Deploy 5 nights/week, with adjacent

lines open and typically handing back at 100mph.

• Delivering 70% of plain line linear

volume in Great Britain in CP5 (Apr 2014 – Mar 2019).

Blocking the Line: The Need to Change….

Handbook 8 of the rule book describes the process for taking a Line Blockage:

• 1. The signaller arranges for a protecting signal to be placed to

danger

• 2. Signaller installs reminder appliance on the panel.

If safety of the line is affected then a form of additional protection is required:

• a. Signal disconnection
• b. Detonators and Possession Limit Board (PLB)

c. Installation of a Track Circuit Operating Device (TCOD) 25

Current Protection Methods for Line Blockages

Problems with the Current Arrangements

• Protection methods require staff to be lineside.
• Complicated and relies on multiple 1 to 1 verbal communications
• Many parties all with different roles and responsibilities
• The method that tends to be the preferred option is PLB’s and detonators. The

activity is: – Potentially hazardous requiring staff to enter the 4’ every time. – Slow and time consuming utilising valuable working time 26

Safety Stats – Operational Close Calls

• RAIL INDUSTRY 2017-18 YTD - 157 operational close call incidents relating to Line

blockages.

• Protection incorrectly placed
• Miscommunication between COSS and Signaller
• Miscommunication between COSS and Possession support staff
• Signaller error

The High Output Safe & Efficient Access Project

Aims of the Safe & Efficient Access Project

• To create a step change improvement in

safety by removing staff from the 4 foot when placing and removing protection.

• To reduce the amount of time taken to take

and handback blockages of the line (possessions and line blockages)

Network Rail Safety Vision Outstanding safety performance and outstanding business performance go hand in hand

Line Blockages within High Output

• High Output activities require line

blockages of the adjacent line varying from 5-15 minutes per night. – 12 x Line blockages for TRS – 6 x Line blockages for BCS

• All of which affect safety of the line and

require a form of additional protection.

The preferred method of additional protection for High Output has been detonator protection.

Recent Success in High Output

• Introduction of ZKL3000 (RC)
• Sponsored through Product acceptance by High

Output

The difference to TRS since Introducing ZKL

PLB & Detonators ZKL3000 (RC)

The Logic – ZKL Vs Conventional

Protection Type Visits to the 4 foot (for 1 line blockage) Communication (for 1 line blockage) Time (for 1 line blockage) PLB & Dets 1 to take 1 to handback 2 total 4 calls to take 4 calls to handback 8 total 2 mins to deploy and remove ZKL3000 (RC) installed once prior to shift 1 call to take 1 call to handback 2 total 20 seconds to deploy and remove

TRS

• 4 foot visits = reduced by 118 (97%) per week
• Phone Calls = reduced by 360 (75%) per week
• Protection time = reduced by 1 hour 36 mins

per week BCS

• 4 foot visits = reduced by 58 (97%) per week
• Phone Calls = reduced by 180 (75%) per week
• Protection time = reduced by 48mins (80%) per

week

• Reduced the risk of exposing staff to moving

trains when placing / removing protection for line blockages.

• Reduced line blockage visits to the 4 foot by

97% per week per system

• Reduced the amount of phone calls for line

blockages by 75% per week per system

• Gained additional 96minutes (TRS) and 48 mins

(BCS) per week per system through introduction

• f ZKL3000 (RC)

Summary

The future for High Output and Network Rail

• Incab Flexible Train Arrival Point (FTAP)
• ZKL3000(RC) mobile app
• ZKL’s installed at fixed locations
• Tamping using ZKL3000 as protection
• High Output Protection Zone
• Personal Warning System (PWS)
• Wireless train warning system (SATWS, ATWS)
• Remote TSR Boards

Back2Basics “Our Commitment to Safety”

Bill Cooke

Back2Basics (cont’d)

• You might remember why I wanted us to get

back to basics……

The important numbers then

• 16 lost time injuries, including 3 broken ankles and wrists, disc cutter and chainsaw cuts
• 60 minor injuries,
• 3 near misses,
• 6 points run throughs
• 30 cable strikes

Many of these events were late reports

Back2Basics

To stop these accidents we said we need to do a few simple things……

• Remove the hazards that we fall over, down or in
• Comply with all the site rules
• Report unsafe acts and conditions

Make it safe, Keep it Safe

That’s really all I ask today,

• Make the sites safe before you start
• Keep the sites safe while you work
• Leave the sites safe when work is complete

So give me any reasons that prevents us doing any of the above?

Tea Break 11.20 – 11.30. “10 Mins Folks”

Prep4 Initiatives Work Stream Workstream Lead Terry Smith Colas Rail

Scope

Joined up and consistent approach to Prep4 Campaigns

Aim

to improve Safety &Sustainable Development (S&SD), through education to reduce accidents and incidents, with a key focus on Back2Basics.

Prep4 Safety

On site safety is one of our key areas of risk when we look at our incidents and accidents. We often start a job with inherited hazards and risk, such as:

– scrap rail, – left over materials, – broken/missing catch pit lids – Etc., to name but a few;

this can have a significant impact on those working in the site. This is where Prep4 Safety can help, it’s all about planning and preparation, making sure our sites are clear and ready for our workers before they arrive. P4S is part of the Grip4Track process its aim is to raise and close out hazards on site before site works start

Current Campaigns

Prep4 Summer

Focussed on specific areas identified as high risk during the summer

• Health & Well Being – Weather and Hydration
• Trespassing – School Holidays
• Driving – More Drivers on Unfamiliar Roads, Traffic Jams
• Site Set Up and Welfare – Water – Increased Fire Risk
• Line side Neighbours – Longer Days, Open Windows, Washing,

Current Campaigns

What we need from you?

• Challenge non compliance with RPE, its your friends and

colleagues we are trying to protect

• COSS review of Sentinel card for appropriate “face fit

competence”

• Does the worker have the right mask to match the

competence above?

• Continued support with innovation such as the following

JSP Air Fed Trials

The trial of the prototype JSP fully helmet mounted Air Fed RPE has been received well. We are working with JSP to make these helmets which can be supplied in any colour viable.

Fatigue Workstream Bernie Grainger Babcock Rail Mark Wright Network Rail Workstream Leads

Fatigue Work Stream

Work Stream Lead Identify what we are trying to achieve? Fatigue Bernard Grainger To increase awareness, knowledge and management of fatigue within the workforce. The improvement plan aims to understand the factors which directly and indirectly affect people’s fatigue and to provide guidance and tools to stakeholders to better control, manage and prevent the risk.

• Change of lead from Mark Wright to Bernie Grainger
• Collaborated with the RPCG (RIAG) and ISLG
• Developed closer ties with the RSSB to help bring about change across the

industry, this will see links to ORR, TOCs and FOCs

• Engaging in new technologies to reduce fatigue when trying to gain information

e.g. RSSB Rule Book App

• Advertised use of Fatigue video short on TSA share site
• Worked with NR to critically review the pending Fatigue Process
• Completed a Survey to gain front line concerns/good practice and knowledge

Fatigue Survey Results

Common trends from 303 surveys:

• 37% advised their average shift excluding travel time is 8 hours, 26% advised theirs

was up to 10 hours and 12% advised they were working 12+ hours.

• 22% advised they use energy drinks regularly to combat fatigue.
• 70% advised they know how to report fatigue, however 30% advised they were still

unsure.

• 65% advised nothing would stop them reporting fatigue.
• 22% of our staff were advised they were working their shift within the last 24 hours,

12% within the last week and 10% 2 weeks prior to their shift.

• 41% advised they way we could improve fatigue is by: better planning, local work,

regular/mandated breaks, advanced notice of shifts and driver rest periods. 12% advised that designated drivers would help reduce fatigue.

A few things you said we could do to improve fatigue

What we need from you?

• Challenge non compliance with arrangements supplied for

pre/post shift hotels etc.

• Use your team mentality to challenge each other, you know each
• ther better than anyone and should feel comfortable in

challenging one another

• Close Call “Fatigue” in all its forms, e.g. home/work life balance,

mental or physical capability

• Continued support with innovation and work streams

“Talking Balls”

Who are we? Why are we here?

• We are Andy and Graham.
• We are from the charity It’s in the Bag.
• We are here to talk about Testicular Cancer.
• We are both glad to be here in more than ways than
• ne, as we have both had Testicular Cancer and

survived.

Our Story’s

Testicular Cancer

• Testicular cancer is a relatively rare disease
• Around 2,400 cases diagnosed in the UK each year
• Out of every 100 cancers diagnosed in men, only 1 or 2

are testicular cancer

• Accounts for approximately 0.7% of all cancers
• Around 70 people die every year from testicular cancer

Testicular Cancer

• Different from many other types of cancer
• Most cancers tend to affect older people, where as testicular

cancer is more common in young and middle-aged men

• Most common cancer of men aged 15-49 in the UK
• Rates of testicular cancer peak in the 25-34 age group

Testicular Cancer

• Cancer of the testicles is also one of

the most treatable forms of cancer

And now a short film:

Testicular Cancer Symptoms

A LUMP (WHICH MIGHT BE PAINLESS) INCREASED SIZE HARDNESS PAIN OR HEAVINESS IN THE BALL SACK

Testicular Cancer Symptoms

• Discomfort or pain; dull ache in the

affected testicle or in the lower abdomen

• Symptoms that the cancer has

spread to the lymph nodes; back pain

• Symptoms that the cancer has

spread to other parts of the body; cough, short of breath, difficulty swallowing

How to self examine

• Get to know your

balls

• Once a month

check for any changes

• After a bath or

shower

• Rest balls in

hand

• Gently roll each
• ne between

thumb & finger

• Avoid doing it in

public!

What to do if something is not quite right

• Don’t panic!
• Do not stew
• ver it
• Go straight to

your GP

Remember: 9 out of 10 ball problems are not testicular cancer. Your symptoms are likely caused by something much less

• serious. But because early diagnosis of

TC means better cure rates and more straightforward treatment, you should get yourself to the doctor ASAP.

Risk Factors

• More common in white men than

African-Caribbean or Asian men

• Being taller than average

increases the risk

• Undescended testicle(s) as a baby
• Hyperspadia as a baby
• Low Fertility
• Previous testicular cancer

Myth Busters

• Can’t be caused by knocks or

injuries to the balls (but any lump or swelling

after an injury should be checked by your GP)

• Vasectomy does not increase

chances

• Testicular Cancer is not infectious

and cannot be passed on to other people

Our Campaigns

What we want you to do

• It’s quite

simple……

• Keep checking every

month

• ANY worries see your

GP

• Don’t put it off!
• Take the pledge

The Pledge

Join the winning team in the battle against testicular cancer! A few minutes once a month to check your balls out – that’s all it takes. Thinking it’s a good idea is one thing, remembering to get round to it is another. But we’re here to help. Pledge to check your balls today, and we’ll send you a free reminder every month via your preferred method, so you can make sure you get it done.
