Have safety rules been written for situations when duties require people to go on or near the line (on or within 3 meters / 10 feet of a railway track)? Have those rules been written on the basis of a HIRA? Do those rules ensure the concerned people are protected from rail movements by track isolation using derail or switch locks? min.3m

14. 14 On and Off Trains; FPA L1Q4 You must not get on a moving rail vehicleunless it is absolutely necessary, and then only if you can do so safely. You must not ride on the steps of a locomotive or vehicle or ride on a hand trolley or any other vehicle not designedfor this purpose. It is never permissible to mount, dismount, or cross over movingequipment. Procedures for getting on and off trains must include the use ofengineered sill steps, handles and ladders/steps placed so to prevent injury to legs, feet and hands. When riding, getting on and getting off rail equipment, three point contactmust be utilized at all times. Person operating rail equipment should be mounting and dismounting moving equipment only where it is absolutely necessary. Employees are prohibited from stepping on coupler or shanks of couplers between coupler head and car sill.

16. 16 Coupling and Uncoupling FPA L2Q3 Railway vehicles can only be coupled and uncoupled when at standstill; stepping in front of or between moving railway vehicles for their coupling and uncoupling is forbidden and will be regarded as gross violation of work discipline and safety regulations. The shunter and the engine driver – they must see each other when they transmit optical or hand signals. When railway vehicles are approaching other standing vehicles, the shunting master or shunter on the side where the caution signals are given must make sure that the employee performing coupling and uncoupling does not step on the track before the railway vehicles stop. When stepping between the standing vehicles, the “Compress” signal may only be given if their bumpers are in contact. It is forbidden to handle vehicles (wagons) at loading ramps, if there is a loader in the vehicle (wagon), or if a vehicle (wagon) is being loaded or unloaded by a crane or a transport handling truck. When handling and shunting tank wagons with chemicals the employees must take extra care.

Have safety rules been written on the basis of the HIRA for shunting operations?

21. 21 Loading, Unloading and Dispatching FPA - L1Q7 Have safety rules been written on the basis of a HIRA for loading and unloading operations on and from wagons? Do those rules take into account the vehicles gross weight, the necessary load sharing out, wedging and stowing in the wagon? The shunting master and shunter shall secure the railway vehicles at loading ramps and detached vehicles against motion by approved stop rail blocks, only approved stop rail blocks must be used. Before loading the car to be secured against motion. Employees who load cars must comply the wagon weight limit - the table on each wagon. It is forbidden to overload the wagons or to load wagons unilaterally. The load must be uniformly loaded and secured to prevent shifting of the loaded material.

22. 22 Audits must be planned and formalized Procedures for handling emergencies, like isolation of tracks and other safety rules must be frequently audited and the results of these audits should be shared with everyone along with their impact on the rail safety plan. Audits should involve leaders and workers Audits should be conducted on routine emergency situations along with major emergency planning activities Table top drills should be conducted annually with for rail operations Recommendations and good examples ! FPA questions -Audits; L3Q2 and L3Q3 Is the responsible person for rail activities always informed prior any work when isolation is necessary by the supervisor or his designee? Is a HIRA always performed before starting any work? Is a safety plan defined on the basis of the HIRA including the necessary safety actions to protect workers from rail traffic movements? Are formalized audits regularly performed to check compliance with the safety plan (particularly concerning the isolation procedure respect)?
