scope:

This standard applies to any Infrastructure Maintenance staff from any discipline when carrying out routine or non-routine tasks identified within the index.

Purpose

This standard provides the index and version control of risk control sheets that mitigate risks associated with general activities, general hazards, small plant, mobile  plant, live working and functional activities (track/signalling etc) within Maintenance.

Each risk control sheet provides a summary of the key hazards and controls identified within a standard work activity risk assessment. Risk control sheets  standardise safe working arrangements across Network Rail's Maintenance function.

NOTE: The risk control sheet format is the preferred means to communicate risk controls to work teams.
