Q
WHAT IS SAFEWORKING?
A
SET OF RULES PROCEDURES AND STRUCTURES DESIGNED TO ENSURE:
THE SAFE OPERATION OF TRAINS
THE PROTECTION OF PEOPLE AND PROPERTY
2
Q
SAFEWORKING SYSTEMS ARE BASED ON
A
THE PRINCIPLE THAT THERE MUST BE SEPARATION OF ANY TRAIN OCCUPYING A SECTION OF TRACK FROM ANY OTHER TRAIN FROM:
ANY OTHER TRAIN
VEHICLE OR
PEOPLE ON OR NEAR THE RAIL TRK
3
Q
WHAT IS A SAFE PLACE?
A
PLACE WHERE YOU AND YOUR EQUIP CANNOT BE STRUCT BY RAIL TRAFFIC
4
Q
WHAT IS THE DANGER ZONE?
A
ALL SPACE WITHIN 3 M HORIZONTALLY FROM THE OUTER MOST RAIL AND ANY DISTANCE ABOVE OR BELOW THIS 3 M UNLESS A SAFE PLACE EXISTS OR CAN BE CREATED
5
Q
WHAT IS WALKING IN THE DANGER ZONE?

8
Q
RESP TRAIN CREW
A
MUST MAKE SURE THAT TRAINS AND TRACK VEHICLES CAN BE OPERATED SAFELY BEFORE THEY ENTER AND DURING TRAVEL IN THE SYD TRAINS NETWORK
TRAIN CREW WILL COMPLETE A TRAIN PREP BEFORE THE FIRST RUN OF THE TRAIN EACH DAY
9
Q
TRAIN CREW MUST:
A
BE QUALIFIED TO OPERATE THE RAIL TFC THEY DRIVE IN THE SYD TRAINS NETWORK
BE QUALIFIED IN THE SYSTEMS OF SAFEWORKING RELEVANT TO THEIR AREA OF OPERATION
COOPERATE WITH NETWORK CONTROLLERS, PILOTS OR OTHER AUTHORISED PERSONS IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THEIR DUTIES
DELEGATE DUTIES ONLY TO QUALIFIED WORKERS

SUBSIDIARY SIGNALS
IF PLACED BELOW RUNNING SIGNALS A SMALL COLOUR LT ARE SUBSIDIARY SIGNALS
IF SUBSIDIARY SHUNTING SIGNAL DISPLAYS PROCEED, THE RUNNING SIGNAL DISPLAYS STOP
70
GENERAL PURPOSE SHUNTING SIGNALS
ARE PLACED:
BESIDE RUNNING LINES
OR
WITHIN SHUNTING YARDS
SHUNTING SIGNALS MAY BE SUBSIDIARY SIGNALS AND WHEN ATTACHED TO HOME SIGNALS MAY BE REFERRED TO AS CALLING ON SIGNALS

FAILS TO CLEAR
CANNOT BE CLEARED BECAUSE RAIL TFC OCCUPIES THE LINE BEYOND THE SIGNAL
PROCEED RESTRICTED SPEED
83
SIGNALLER MUST NOT USE SUBSIDIARY SHUNTING SIGNAL AS SOLE AUTHORITY FOR:
FOR RAIL TFC TO PASS A STARTING OR HOME/ STARTING SIGNAL FOR A THROUGH MOVEMENT
THE MOVEMENT MUST BE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH NSG608 PASSING SIGNALS AT STOP

DISTANCE TO STOP PRIOR STOP INDICATION
10-20m
KEEP SIGNAL CLEARLY IN VIEW
85
PROCEED INDICATES THAT:
INTERLOCKING PTS PROTECTED BY THE SIGNAL ARE SET IN THE CORRECT POSITION

86
LOW SPEED INDICATES:
SMALL IN LINE GREEN LTS
DL IN LOWER CASE
SL BELOW MAIN LAMP CASE
INDICATES THAT THE LINE TO THE NEXT SIGNAL UNOCCUPIED BUT EXPECT:
NEXT SIGNAL AT STOP
LINE BEYOND THE NEXT SIGNAL TO BE OCCUPIED
IF TRAIN STOPS PROVIDED MAX SPD 25 KMH.
INTERMEDIATE TRAIN STOPS MAY REQUIRE FURTHER SPD REDUCTION
87
CLOSE UP SIGNAL INDICATES
THE LINE TO THE NEXT SIGNAL IS UNOCCUPIED
AUTHORISE RAIL TFC TO PROCEED BUT TO EXPECT THE NEXT SIGNAL TO BE AT STOP
88
IRREGULAR SIGNAL INDICATIONS
TREAT AS STOP IF:
ILLEGAL
NO INDICATION
NO INDICATION OTHER THAN RTE INDICATOR
IT IS NOT UNDERSTOOD
89

NOT CONSISTENT WITH NORMAL INDICATIONS
NOT CONSISTENT WITH ADJOINING SIGNALS
WHAT IS KNOWN ABOUT THE OCCUPANCY OF THE LINE
QUALIFIED WORKERS MUST REPORT TO SIGNALLER
90
SIGNALLER ACTIONS WHEN TOLD OF ILLEGAL SIGNALS
IF CONTROLLED SET TO STOP
ISSUE CAN
TELL NETWORK CONTROLLER
TELL SIGNALS MAINTENANCE REP
AFFECTED SIGNALS MUST NOT BE USED TO PROVIDE PROCEED BEFORE THEY HAVE BEEN CERTIFIED BACK INTO USE
91
PARTIAL INDICATIONS
IF A LT OR COLOUR RUNNING SIGNAL IS NOT VISIBLE MUST ACT AS IF THE ASPECT IS THE MOST RESTRICTIVE COMBINATION
92
SIGNALS NOT IN USE
