Signing in at LU premisesYou must always sign in when entering LU premises, this is:

to allow you entry on to LU infrastructure•so that you can be located in the event of an evacuation.•

When signing in you must ensure you:

signthevisitorsbookand/orthePersoninChargeEvacuationRegister(PICER)•obtain a visitors pass or sticker (which must be worn at all times)•are aware of where the Staff Assembly Point (SAP) is located, and the emergency •procedures for that location.

Example of a Staff Assembly Point indicator

If you have to access a station that is unstaffed or closed you will have to make the necessary arrangements to get signed in, and collect any keys for the relevant location.

If you are working in a depot you must sign in at the gatehouse, and report to the duty depot manager’soffice.

Roles and responsibilitiesWhen working on LU infrastructure you may come in to contact with:

A station supervisor who is responsible for:•running a station safely and efficiently -signing people in and out of a station -

evacuating people from the station in the event of a fire or other emergency. -

A person in charge of the work who is accountable for:•

ensuring there is a safe system of work -the work in progress and the programme of work -the discipline of the workgroup -briefing the workgroup -signing in and out with the station supervisor -checking certification of the workgroup -plant and materials -general health and safety -liaising with the station supervisor, depot duty manager and the person providing -protection.

Reporting incidents and near misses A near miss is a type of incident which could have caused harm, loss or damage, but did not on this occasion.

A near miss or incident should be reported as soon as possible through the appropriate incident reporting process.

If there is a near miss in a worksite the incident must be reported to the person in charge of the work.

Reportingprocedureshelpintheidentificationofproblems,andtheirfutureeradicationinthe workplace.

Serious and imminent danger If you believe that you or others are in serious or imminent danger, you must stop the work and report the matter to the person in charge of the work, or your manager.

You should not resume work until action has been taken to address the serious or imminent danger.

Confidential Incident Reporting Analysis SystemTheConfidentialIncidentReportingAnalysisSystem(CIRAS)systemisareportingsystemwhich gives you the option to report a safety issue if you are unable to report it in the normal way.

This system:

Arriving at site For your own safety when arriving at a site you should:

park in well lit areas•take care when passing social premises and gatherings, as you could become a target •especially if people are intoxicatedtravel in groups if possible•ensure you take the necessary precautions when working alone. •

Parking When parking a vehicle you must have consideration for neighbouring properties. You should:

park in a responsible manner•use authorised parking spaces where appropriate•switch off the engine when possible.•

Loading and unloading a vehicleWhen loading and unloading a vehicle you should:

observe rules on manual handling•only use designated routes to unload tools and equipment•keep any noise to a minimum•check the surrounding area for people and obstructions, including overhead.•

Using a lift, escalator or moving walkway If you have to use a lift, escalator or moving walkway to move tools and equipment, you should take care not to cause injury to yourself or others.

In order to use a lift, escalator or moving walkway to move tools or equipment you must have a valid movement of materials licence for the lift, escalator or moving walkway listing thetoolsandequipmenttobemoved.Theremustalsobeacertificatedoperatorinattendance.

Remember

You should report any damage to the lift, escalator or moving walkway to the person in charge of the work.

9

Method statement and risk assessmentThe person in charge of the work will have a method statement to describe how the job will be completed. They will also have a risk assessment that will identify any hazards that can affect your health, safety and the environment.

All work requires a method statement and risk assessment to be in place.

You will be briefed by the person in charge of the work, before the work starts on what you are going to be doing, and how to keep yourself safe.

Remember

Ifyoudonotreceivethebriefingoryoudidnotunderstandthebriefing,youshouldspeaktothe person in charge of the work.

Worksite hazards and risks A hazard is anything that has the potential to cause harm.

The risk is the likelihood that someone will be harmed by the hazard.

Before starting work, check with the person in charge of the work that there are no known risks or hazards that may affect you or your work, e.g: buried services (cables, pipes etc).

Restricted itemsThere are some items that can contribute to accidents and incidents on LU infrastructure, therefore the following items are restricted:

radios, personal audio devices, mobile phones with earpieces•consumption of food and drink in non designated areas•the use of metal ladders near live track (including towers).•

Confined spacesConfinedspacesarelocationsthatareenclosed,forexample:

a chamber •a pit •a tank •a platform invert. •

Thereareadditionalrisksforworkinginaconfinedspace.Arrangementsforyoursafetywillbe put in place by the person in charge of the work.

ElectricityYou cannot work on any electrical equipment on LU infrastructure unless you are competent to do so.

10

Working at heightThere are additional risks when working at height. Arrangements for working at height will be put in place by the person in charge of the work.

Noise at work Exposuretoexcessivenoisewouldhavebeenidentifiedinthemethodstatementandriskassessment.

The person in charge of the work will ensure any necessary controls are put in place.

LeptospirosisLeptospirosis (also known as Weils disease) is a bacterial infection which is transmitted by infected animals, most commonly from the urine of rats.

You can get infected by Leptospirosis through indirect contact e.g. from sewage or water infected with rats urine (water in tunnels) or from direct contact e.g. from a rat bite or direct exposure to rats urine in tunnels, inverts or cable ducts.

You can avoid infection by:

covering exposed cuts and abrasions with a waterproof dressing•using suitable PPE•removing dirty work clothing before eating•washing your hands and forearms with soap and water as soon as possible.•

Dust and dust control There may be dust in tunnels or from the use of tools and equipment that can irritate the nose, throat, lungs and eyes.

The person in charge of the work will explain how you can minimise dust.

First aidWhen you arrive at a worksite you will be told:

who the First Aider is•wherethenearestfirstaidpointis•whereyoucanfindtheemergencycontactnumbers.•

Any injuries must be reported to the person in charge of the work.

11

Fatigue managementMaintenance staff can work outside normal daylight hours, therefore if your work shift schedule is not managed adequetly, it can have a negative effect on your physical and mental well-being.

Fatigue can be managed by:

making use of off-duty rest periods to ensure you get enough sleep•planning your domestic duties around your shift schedule, and trying to ensure that you •do not complete them at the cost of rest or sleep.

You have a duty of care to inform the person in charge of the work or your line manager if you are unable to carry out your duties safely.

You must inform the person in charge of the work or your line manager if you are aware that you have a medical condition, such as a sleep disorder that could make you more liable to fatigue at work.

Whenyoubookonorreportforsafetycriticalwork,youaredeclaringthatyouarefitforduty. If you believe fatigue is, or may become an issue for you or your colleagues then you should raise and discuss this with the person in charge of the work or your line manager as soon as possible.

Needle-stick injuriesOn occasions drug users leave hypodermic syringes lying around LU infrastructure. This can be a danger to you and anyone working with you.

If you see any hypodermic syringes you should:

nottouchthemasyoucouldbecomecontaminated(e.g.HIV/hepatitis)•report them to the person in charge of the work to ensure they are removed safely.•

If you suffer a hypodermic syringe injury you should seek immediate medical attention, and report the incident to your line manager or the person in charge of the work.

Remember

Hypodermic syringes can also be left in spaces that you cannot see into.

12

Slips and tripsWorking on LU infrastructure can be hazardous, so you should take care to avoid anything that could cause you to slip or trip, for example:

walking through mud•walking on uneven surfaces•using grease or oil.•

You can avoid slips and trips by:

following your company’s good housekeeping guidelines•keeping the worksite tidy•paying attention to what you are doing•not cutting corners when it comes to safety•not being distracted from the task at hand•not leaving tools or equipment lying around•walking on the ballast when on the track.•

Remember

50%ofslipsandtripsarecausedbypoorhousekeeping.

Overhead Line Equipment If you have to work on a section of track which is adjacent to or passes over Network Rail lineselectrifiedbythe25kV(a.c.)OverheadLineEquipment(OLE)system,youshouldalways:

consider the overhead lines and attachments to be live at all times and extremely •dangerous to lifemake sure you, your clothing and any articles you are carrying, are at least 2.75 metres •from:

anything attached to or hanging from the OLE -any broken or disconnected wire connected to the OLE equipment, whether it is -hanging or lying on the ground

make sure that any articles do not come within the 2.75 metres, by:•carrying long items horizontally -keeping paint, water and other liquids well away from where they might be thrown, fall -or splashed onto OLEkeeping tools and equipment, including ropes, wires, tapes and surveying equipment, -well clear of the OLE

take extra care to make sure you do not come within the 2.75 metres when you are:•on a structure of any kind -standing on a vehicle. -

Do not attempt to remove objects of any description from the OLE system.

13

Work must not be carried out above any OLE equipment (for example. bridges, embankments and building roofs) unless there is a physical barrier protecting the work area from the OLE or the correct isolation and earthing arrangements have been made by a NetworkRailapprovedperson,andtherelevantformsofisolation/immunisationhavebeenissuedtotheNetworkRailControllerofSiteSafety/ProtectionController.

Example of Overhead Line Equipment

Buried servicesBuried services can be cables or pipes that carry gas, electric or water under the ground.

You should be aware of the dangers caused by buried services. Damage to buried services can result from ground penetration, whether it is carried out by hand or machinery.

Ifyoudamageanyburiedservicethereisalwaysariskofexplosion,electrocution,floodingor contact with hazardous substances. The risks are mitigated by detailed pre-work checks and investigatory work.

You should always assume that buried services are present - and actively look for any indication that they are present, for example look for any signage, lighting or manhole covers.

Remember

always treat buried services as LIVE until proven otherwise•under no circumstances should you try to repair a damaged service whether the damage •was caused by you or someone elsereport any damaged service to the person in charge of the work•do not use exposed services as a convenient step or hand-hold.•

14

LeadLead is most commonly associated with plumbing or roof work, but it has also been used as a constituent of some paints.

Any site where it is suspected that lead is present, is tested by the appropriate premises engineer before the work starts.

Lead usually enters the body by ingestion but can also enter by inhalation or via the skin.

If you encounter any material that you suspect could be lead:

stop work immediately and inform the person in charge of the work•do not attempt to move it.•

Track and station equipmentCareshouldbeconsideredatalltimeswhenyoucomeintocontactwithanytrackorstationequipment on LU infrastructure.

For example:

cables•signalling equipment•aerials•antennas•cameras.•

If you damage or see any damaged track or station equipment, you should tell the person in charge of the work immediately.

CommunicationYou might have to communicate important safety information with others. You must communicate clearly so that any message you are giving or receiving is not misunderstood.

When giving or receiving messages make sure:

you use the phonetic alphabet •you are talking to the right person, and that person knows who you are•your message is clear, accurate, and to the point•you understand the information and any action that is required•that you know how to make contact again (if required)•you record any details in a logbook or your notebook (where applicable).•you start a message by:•

stating who you are -asking who you are talking to -stating where you are -stating why you are calling. -

15

Phonetic alphabet

The phonetic alphabet is used to identify letters of the alphabet in order to spell words and placenamesthataredifficulttopronounce.

Using numbers

Ifyouareusingnumbers10andoverinyourmessage,youmustsaythemoneatatime.

For example, ‘Train 123’ must be spoken as ‘Train one two three’ not ‘Train one hundred and twenty three’.

Youmustalsosaythenumber‘0’as‘zero’.

You do not need to quote numbers separately when you refer to time, for example, the time 13.17 hours should be stated as ‘thirteen seventeen’.

AsbestosAsbestos is a natural mineral found in rock. You cannot always tell whether a material contains asbestos simply by looking at it. Often asbestos is masked by other materials or is dyed, which disguises its true colour.

Remember

Products that contain asbestos can look identical to those that do not.

The law

Asbestos is banned from use within the United Kingdom; this also includes second hand use of asbestos products, such as asbestos cement sheets.

TheControlofAsbestosRegulationsrequiresthosewhomanagenon-domesticpremisestoprotect persons from the risk of ill health and exposure to asbestos. Their duty is to:

takereasonablestepstofindoutiftherearematerialsthatcontainasbestos,andifso•the amount, where it is and what condition it is inassesstheriskofanyonebeingexposedtoasbestosfibresfromthematerialidentified•prepare a plan that sets out in detail how the risks from these materials will be managed•implement the plan•periodically review and monitor the plan to ensure it is always up to date•provide information on the location and condition of the material to anyone who is liable •to work on or disturb it.

Effects to your health

Generally, materials in good condition that contain asbestos are safe. They become dangerous when they are damaged or have deteriorated.

Ifthefibresgetlodgedinyourlungstheycannotbebrokendownbyyourbody’snaturaldefences or coughed out, this can then lead to asbestos related diseases such as lung cancer or asbestosis.

These diseases will not affect you immediately; they can often take a long time to develop.

Smokers are at greater risk of contracting an asbestos related disease than non-smokers.

Asbestos on LU infrastructure

It is known that various materials used on LU infrastructure contain asbestos, for example:

sheathing for cables and washers•insulation •ceilingandfloortiles•pit blocks•tunnel ring caulking•

17

cable troughing•corrugated sheeting•rope gaskets.•

Cablesheathingandwashers Insulation Corrugatedsheeting

Surveys are undertaken at:

stations•depots•rented properties•other locations (for example the track).•

These surveys are used to produce risk assessments and set priorities for the appropriate managers.

Your responsibilities

Asbestos products can look similar to asbestos-free materials and can sometimes only be identifiedunderamicroscope,soyoushouldalwaysseekassistancebeforemovinganymaterials that you think may contain asbestos.

Whenyouarriveatsiteyouwillbegivenabriefing.Itisyourresponsibilitytounderstandthebriefing,ifyoudonotunderstandanythingyoumustspeaktothepersoninchargeofthework.

It is your legal duty to cooperate with the duty holder in managing the asbestos. This means youmustcomplywithanyinstructionsregardingasbestosgivenatthebriefingsyoureceiveon site.

You must avoid disturbing or attempting to remove known materials that contain asbestos at all times.

If you uncover or discover anything that may contain asbestos you must stop any work which may disturb it, and report it to the person in charge of the work or local manager.

You must not return to an area that contains asbestos until you are told it is safe to do so by the person in charge of the work.

Always ask the person in charge of the work if the building you are working in has been checked for asbestos. It is your right to be protected from asbestos at all times.

Any asbestos removal work will only be carried out by a licensed contractor.

18

Accidental disturbance of asbestos

If you accidentally disturb asbestos you must:

stop work immediately and vacate the area•if possible isolate the area to prevent exposure, for example close any doors•notify the person in charge of the work, local manager or station supervisor•ensure that the accidental disturbance is reported through the appropriate incident •reporting process.
