scope:

This standard applies:

a) throughout the engineering access planning process and during the delivery of work; and

b) to all Network Rail employees and contractors who plan and manage the movements of engineering trains / OTMs / OTP in worksites on Network Rail Managed Infrastructure.

This standard:

a) sets out a clear consistent process for planning and managing movements using points stop equipment (PSE) at points identified at risk of being run through;

b) details the requirements for the planning and undertaking of the PSE process and the responsibilities of those involved; and

c) introduces forms to record information at site to assist with the safe management of movements.

Purpose

The purpose of this standard is to contribute to the safe management and control of engineering train / On-track machines (OTM) / On-track plant (OTP) movements over or near trailing points within the worksite to mitigate point run throughs.

This standard supports the conventional procedures for the safe management of movements of engineering trains / OTMs / OTP within worksites as defined in GE/RT8000.
