RED 71 - Trackside Workers
26/05/2025
A wide range of people work trackside, performing a range of tasks—from undertaking track inspections and general maintenance, to telecoms, earthworks, and enhancement work.
Trackside workers are exposed to many risks when working on, or near, the line. It is vital that we all do what we can to keep them safe. It is also vital that, whatever we do on the railway, we are aware of both the risks and the changes that are being made to improve safety.
