General Information
Safety: Any deficiency or failure, which could affect the safe running of trains or the integrity of the signalling system, shall be reported to the signaller immediately.
Before working on points:
• Set up possession and protection arrangements with the signaller.
• Ensure that a route cannot be set over the points being worked on (staff and safety of trains). This requires the implementation of a safe system of work which may include:
• Provision of a point operator at the controlling point.
• Verify the point end by asking the signaller to swing the points prior to starting work.
• A locally documented procedure.
