Safety

Working at height

Working at height

• Two-thirds of all major injuries are caused by low

falls

• Working at height means work in any place where, if

there were no precautions in place, a person could fall a distance liable to cause personal injury

• Track Safety Matters film Working at Height

launched on Safety Central, website etc

Prep4Safety

• We accept a site with hazards that could

have been removed

• We don’t question why the site isn’t tidy
• r except it as the status quo
• Did you know? In 2014/15 personal

injuries with root cause of underfoot conditions accounted for:

• 31% in IP Track
• 30% in Network Rail
• 50% of all Close Calls

Prep4Safety

Prep4Safety is our commitment to our colleagues, clients and to our communities to keep our sites safe and protect the railway and the environment for future generations to come

Supervisory and Technical forum

October 2015

Our feedback what's gone well !!!!

Karl Crompton, Jeremy Baker (AJC) Rebecca Wishart / Adrian Fricker

Development with R.P.E. and innovations in communication within High-Output

Environment

• In High-Output we carry out a range of activities that agitate

ballast and the effect will create a hazardous environment by way of putting crystalline silica dust in the air. These include the use of BCS, D75, Auto-hoppers, Tamping, regulating to name a few.

Challenge

All our key staff need to be able to communicate during the shift and in a variety of ways? This can be either “Face to Face” by “Radio” or “Mobile Phone”. Examples;

• P.C. signing in & out COSS’s or

TASK LEADERS by phone.

• Engineer’s / E.S. / Works

Manager’s / Supervisor’s / S.W.L.s / L.O.W.S. STAFF / S.A.C. / P.O.M. / Signaller / Route Control and more.

Innovation

• By listening to the feedback of the R.P.E. We are positively

trialling a new Drager airfed system. We have had a very positive response so far, a much quieter operating function and with a standard type hard hat that enables the fitting of standard cap lamps. Because of its ability to offer mic access it is helping us (with Co-Channel) to evolve an industry first dual Com’s system. This will enable the user (including FFP3) to maintain safe and effective com’s whilst remaining fully protected and compliant at all times.

X5 In-ear headset with an unparalleled level of hearing protection - SNR 32

• Crystal clear

communication even in extremely noisy conditions

• Full situational awareness
• Low profile and

compatible with helmets, gas masks or circumaural headsets

Isolations 3rd / 4th rail safety

Dean Johns

DC Conductor Rail (DCCR) 660/750v

• Approximately 4500km of track on the rail network is

powered by 660/750V DC CR 3rd rail

• Human contact with live third rail can lead to electrocution
• More commonly tool contact between the running rail and

3rd rail causes a discharge of electricity; resulting in either

DC CR related Incidents 2002 - 2013

A total of 257 incidents on DC infrastructure occurred between 2002 – 2013

• 3 fatalities
• 16 major injuries
• 79 minor injuries
• 159 close calls through contact with electricity

DCCR Future Improvements Negative Short Circuit Devices

• Taking us from here
• Taking us to here

What would improve staff safety on DC lines?

Competence, Planning, Communications & Behaviours

• Suggest ways of reducing staff proximity to live DCCR?
• How do we reduce the risk of human/equipment contact with live
• DCCR whilst walking, carrying or using metallic items?
• Ownership & use of Short Circuiting Straps, how to do it better?

CGI Animated film TSA Working at Height Group update

Mike Netherton

Working At Height Group

To raise awareness of the risks of Working at Height amongst Track Safety Alliance Members To look at measures to reduce the risk of harm related to working at height to a tolerable level

Achievements So Far

Short Term actions Long Term actions

Film Feedback

• The film was produced to raise awareness and demonstrate some of

controls already in use across the industry

• Focused on P Way work but S&T are taking notice and starting their
• wn working group
• You should only plan to use ladders for access and egress and only

as a last resort to work from, if no other measures can be used

• Robust Emergency Plans are important and should be in place where

fall control systems are used due to suspension trauma

The TSA would welcome any other feed back you have after watching the film

Working at Height Questions for Breakout session

• How are your Projects exposed to WAH Risk?
• Using the Principles of CDM 2015 and good planning, how can

the risks associated with WAH be mitigated on your projects?

• In your Site Safety Conversations / PGI activities, what do you

look for and ask questions about when focussing on WAH?

• What currently prevents you planning and delivering your

Projects with all WAH risk eliminated?

• If you had a blank canvass, what new innovations or work

methods could be adopted to minimise or eliminate WAH risk?
