Supervisory and Technical forum October 2015
Our feedback what's gone well !!!! Karl Crompton, Jeremy Baker (AJC) Rebecca Wishart / Adrian Fricker
Development with R.P.E. and innovations in communication within High-Output
Environment • In High-Output we carry out a range of activities that agitate ballast and the effect will create a hazardous environment by way of putting crystalline silica dust in the air. These include the use of BCS, D75, Auto-hoppers, Tamping, regulating to name a few.
Challenge All our key staff need to be able to communicate during the shift and in a variety of ways? This can be either “Face to Face” by “Radio” or “Mobile Phone”. Examples; • P.C. signing in & out COSS’s or TASK LEADERS by phone. • Engineer’s / E.S. / Works Manager’s / Supervisor’s / S.W.L.s / L.O.W.S. STAFF / S.A.C. / P.O.M. / Signaller / Route Control and more.
Innovation • By listening to the feedback of the R.P.E. We are positively trialling a new Drager airfed system. We have had a very positive response so far, a much quieter operating function and with a standard type hard hat that enables the fitting of standard cap lamps. Because of its ability to offer mic access it is helping us (with Co-Channel) to evolve an industry first dual Com’s system. This will enable the user (including FFP3) to maintain safe and effective com’s whilst remaining fully protected and compliant at all times.

• Site Visits with Co-Channel have taken place with TRS & BCS systems • Proto type expected to be ready for trials at the beginning of November 2015 • Welcome any other I.M.T.s to get involved and share in the trials • Any feed back or questions through the T.S.A. or directly to karl.crompton@networkrail.co.uk or 07866319555 COM 1
