Safe Work Manager

Course Description

This course is designed to train individuals to be Safe Work Managers (SWM). A Safe Work Manager (SWM) may be identified and appointed in a complex worksite under possession where the complexity of the worksite may require an additional Engineering Supervisor (ES) to support to maintain effective control of identified risks. It is recognised that in multi\activity worksites, the workload associated with the Safe Work Pack process (i.e. managing the number of packs), coupled with that of the Rule Book duties of an ES may be excessive leading to an increase in operational and work activity related interface risk. This also includes in DC line areas the additional responsibilities assigned under NR/WI/ELP/3091. In order to effectively manage this workload and control of these risks the SWM delegate will be selected with higher pre-requisites from proven and experienced Project Managers from the higher Echelons across multiple disciplines. The training includes the importance of using the correct planning protocols, applying the SSOW and adopting the appropriate behaviours to be able to carry out this role safely and effectively

Audience

A Safe Work Manager (SWM) may be identified and appointed in a complex worksite under possession where the complexity of the worksite may require an additional Engineering Supervisor (ES) to support to maintain effective control of identified risks. 1. Proven experience in managing/supervising a complex worksite in a railway environment subject to GE/RT 8000 Rule Book adherence from planning to delivery. 2. Experience and/or qualification in site risk management. 3. An understanding of the principles underpinning CDM (Construction Design Management) either through experience or evidence of training. 4. Approval for SWM training confirming suitability including review of appropriate non-technical skills and evidence of pre-requisites by a Senior Manager. 5. Recognised safety qualifications IOSH / NEBOSH (National Examination Board) in Occupational Safety and Health ¨C Desirable. 6. Recognised Project Management qualification ¨C (with Professional Accreditation) - Desirable. 7. Educated to Degree or similar qualification where it can be demonstrated that safety management was a core module ¨C Desirable.

Personal Track Safety

Course Description

Personal Track Safety (PTS) should be undertaken by anyone who is required to routinely work on or near the line. The recommendation is that anyone who is required to go on track (on or near the line) on more than 12 occasions in a 12 month period should obtain the PTS competence. PTS is the foundation competence for all other Track Safety Competencies (e.g. Lookout, IWA, COSS etc).

The eLearning (Step 1) covers the requirements for working safely on the track and includes track terminology, safe systems of work, working on stations and includes working near overhead lines.

The Practical Day (Step 2) uses group and individual activities to practise the learning attained from the eLearning. There will also be a track visit to a live rail environment. Any delegate who is required to work in an OLE or 3rd Rail area under PTS must obtain PTS AC competence (this course includes that requirement).

On completion of the training and following written and practical assessments, a statement of achievement will be issued for each delegate denoting underpinning knowledge and ability to carry out a variety of tasks associated with 'Personal Track Safety'.

Audience

Anyone expected to work on the rail infrastructure.

Safe Work Manager

Course Description

This course is designed to train individuals to be Safe Work Managers (SWM). A Safe Work Manager (SWM) may be identified and appointed in a complex worksite under possession where the complexity of the worksite may require an additional Engineering Supervisor (ES) to support to maintain effective control of identified risks. It is recognised that in multi\activity worksites, the workload associated with the Safe Work Pack process (i.e. managing the number of packs), coupled with that of the Rule Book duties of an ES may be excessive leading to an increase in operational and work activity related interface risk. This also includes in DC line areas the additional responsibilities assigned under NR/WI/ELP/3091. In order to effectively manage this workload and control of these risks the SWM delegate will be selected with higher pre-requisites from proven and experienced Project Managers from the higher Echelons across multiple disciplines. The training includes the importance of using the correct planning protocols, applying the SSOW and adopting the appropriate behaviours to be able to carry out this role safely and effectively

Audience

A Safe Work Manager (SWM) may be identified and appointed in a complex worksite under possession where the complexity of the worksite may require an additional Engineering Supervisor (ES) to support to maintain effective control of identified risks. 1. Proven experience in managing/supervising a complex worksite in a railway environment subject to GE/RT 8000 Rule Book adherence from planning to delivery. 2. Experience and/or qualification in site risk management. 3. An understanding of the principles underpinning CDM (Construction Design Management) either through experience or evidence of training. 4. Approval for SWM training confirming suitability including review of appropriate non-technical skills and evidence of pre-requisites by a Senior Manager. 5. Recognised safety qualifications IOSH / NEBOSH (National Examination Board) in Occupational Safety and Health ¨C Desirable. 6. Recognised Project Management qualification ¨C (with Professional Accreditation) - Desirable. 7. Educated to Degree or similar qualification where it can be demonstrated that safety management was a core module ¨C Desirable.
