Communication to persons within TOA boundaries

Significant safety Issue

Rule NWT 304 does not stipulate that the Protection Officer must inform all persons or work groups who may be within the boundaries of a Track Occupancy Authority of its existence. This is regardless of whether or not these persons or work groups fit the definition of 'work parties' or 'workers'.

Safety Recommendation

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau recommends that RailCorp take action to address this safety issue
