NDC – Track Way Safety compliance and supporting documentation
This is a synopsis of the safety documentation applicable to the deployment of the track way. . Due to the size of this file I have only placed the main documents in this synopsis. It is a requirement of the SAC1 and Risk Assessment that local sites suitability assessment must be completed prior to any new equipment deployments, supported by local risk assessments and consultation with local CWU representatives.
The documents within this pack are electronic copies, all master documents with signatures are held the originators on site. Should you need to review these please contact NDC – [email protected] CI lead.

STEP 1 INITIAL RISK ASSESSMENT List below tasks or work equipment involved & the hazards associated with them & those people affected, list all existing controls & rate the level of risk. Use separate assessment sections for each task or work equipment & add more assessment sections and expanding as needed. If any risks are tolerable or above, move to Step 2 Risk Control.
Task or Work Equipment
Identified Hazards Associated Risk People Affected
Existing Control(s) Risk Assessment Outcome See Matrix Likelihood Severity Total
1.0 Installation of Track-Way Barriers
Electrical hazards associated with using powered hand tools and accessing the electricity supply.
Electric shocks and burns by using faulty tools. Fires caused by electrical faults resulting in burns and smoke inhalation.
Contractors carrying out the installation. Employees working in the vicinity.
• Royal Mail pfs to act as Principal Contractor and to ensure appropriate risk assessment and method statements prior to commencement of work.

Incorrect use of tools (including powered tools) e.g. drills.
Injuries if installers come into contact with moving parts e.g. drill bit.
Contractors carrying out the installations.
• Royal Mail pfs to act as Principal Contractor and to ensure appropriate risk assessment and method statements prior to commencement of work.
Slips & trips Striking against objects
Risk of injury from trailing cables, obstacles on the floor etc. and working in cramped conditions.
Contractors carrying out the installations. Employees working in the vicinity.
• Royal Mail pfs to act as Principal Contractor and to ensure appropriate risk assessment and method statements prior to commencement of work.
• Contractors to ensure work areas are physically segregated from any operational areas.
Location of Track-Way in the event of fire evacuation restricts access to exits or leads to congested work areas
Identified Hazards Associated Risk People Affected
Existing Control(s) Risk Assessment Outcome See Matrix Likelihood Severity Total
1.5 Maintenance of Track-Way System
Hazards associated with service/Repair • Use Electric tools • Removing sections of
the trackway for repair/replacement
Friction or abrasion Cuts and Laceration. Electric Shock
Royal Mail pfs Employees
Maintenance to be carried out by Royal Mail pfs only.
2 2 4 Tolerable
STEP 2 RISK CONTROL List all tasks or work equipment rated in Step 1 as tolerable or above. Identify & record the additional control measures necessary to ensure risks are removed or reduced to an acceptable level. On the assumption these risk controls will be introduced complete the risk assessment assessing their impact on the risk rating. Where any additional controls are proposed but cannot be immediately implemented add them at Step 5. Where necessary obtain advice from the Safety Lead to the project. Use separate assessment sections for each task or work equipment & add more assessment sections and expand as necessary.

Use the Risk Matrix in SMS 2.1 Risk Management Standard to assess the task or work equipment in all sections above.
Overall Assessment When the additional control measures are identified progress with the risk assessment based on the new information. All those assessed as Adequately Controlled or Tolerable Go to Step 5 Any that are assessed as Moderate or above Go to Step 3
STEP 3 DETAILED RISK ASSESSMENT
List all tasks or work equipment rated as moderate or above in Step 2 in the Detailed Assessment section below, where the additional controls introduced or intended for introduction in Step 2 cannot control the risks to at least an adequate level. It is essential at this point that the Safety Lead for the project is consulted. With their assistance identify which of the additional detailed risk assessments are required. These assessments should be used to identify and record any specific control measures the technical safety specialist completing the assessment feels are necessary to ensure risks are removed or reduced to an acceptable level. Where possible additional controls should be implemented straight away. Where additional controls are proposed but not yet implemented add them at Step 5. Add more assessment sections and expand as necessary to record your findings.
POSSIBLE DETAILED RISK ASSESSMENTS 1 Work Equipment Change Safety Assessment (Mandatory for all change to work equipment) 7 Detailed Redesign Assessment (Fundamental change to the project/process) 2 Ergonomic Assessment (N/A) 8 Hazard & Operability Assessment/Study (HAZOP) 3 CDM Assessment (N/A) 9 Epidemiological Assessment

Use the Risk Matrix in SMS 2.1 Risk Management Standard to assess the task or work equipment.
STEP 4 RESIDUAL RISKS If there are any residual risks moderate or above after step 3, take the following action:
RESIDUAL RISK ACTIONS FOR RISKS ABOVE MODERATE YES NO
1. Safety Lead to escalate all risks moderate or above for advice on a way forward to the Group Safety Risk Improvement Manager (8.1) or the most Senior Safety Professional in the Business Unit (ex. Operations & Modernisation), Region, Logistics or Support Function (8.2/3)
2. Safety Lead takes appropriate course of action having escalated the issues:
a) Abort the Project - Do not progress
b) Abort the Project - Seeking an alternative product/service solution, then start the Safety Assessment & Concurrence process again
c) Review steps 1 to 3. Include additional proposals suggested by the Group SHE Risk & Improvement Manager (8.1) or the Senior Safety Professional implementing the additional controls identified during the review of the process. Where controls cannot be implemented immediately – go to Step 5 and add to the concurrence actions.
STEP 5 CONCURRENCE ACTION PLAN
Record from Step 2 ‘Risk Controls’ any outstanding actions that still need to be implemented and any additional risk controls from Step 3 ‘Detailed Risk Assessment’ or Step 4 ‘Residual Risks’ that are outstanding. Responsibility and timescales for completion should also be determined. These are part of the conditions of concurrence. It is important to record any actions in this section that are essential to the project but which cannot be deployed before sign off of this process, as such they will become concurrent actions.

While the SSOW provides sufficient INFORMATION and INSTRUCTION to allow managers to control safety risks for a specific task &/or item of work equipment it is possible that local circumstances within a Unit could introduce additional risks. Where local risk assessment indicates this to be the case LOCAL ARRANGEMENTS could be prepared help to remove or reduce the additional risks to an acceptable level. This additional INFORMATION and INSTRUCTION must be used within the Unit(s) affected to inform and instruct those employees affected. It should also be used at induction and refresher training events to inform employees how a task they are involved in can be completed safely &/or how work equipment they are using can be used safely. Any training or briefing using the SSOW should be recorded to show where the additional information and instruction has been given.
