scope:

This module states the requirements for the assessment of the risk of danger arising from live overhead line equipment, and live pantographs and other roof-mounted electrical equipment on trains, when work is to be carried out on or about 25 kV a.c. electrified lines.

It is applicable to Network Rail personnel and to Network Rail's contractors.

To provide a consistent approach to working on or about 25 kV a.c. electrified lines, Train Operating Companies may, as best practice, apply this standard to infrastructure they control.

Purpose

This module will produce a consistent approach to the assessment of risks when working on or about 25 kV a.c. electrified lines. Further requirements for working on or about the electrified lines are contained in the Rule Book Module AC (GE/RT8000/AC).
