Safety at P. Way Work Site  :- The following measures should invariably be adopted for ensuring safety at P.Way Works sites:-

i. The contractor shall not start any work without the presence of railway supervisor at site.

ii) Wherever the road vehicles and/or machinery are required to work in the close vicinity of railway line, the work shall be so carried out that there is no infringement to the Railway's schedule of dimensions. For this purpose, the area where road vehicles and/or machinery are required to ply, shall be demarcated and acknowledged by the contractor. Barricading shall be provided wherever justified and feasible as per site conditions.

iii) The “look out " and "Whistle" caution orders shall be issued to the trains and "speed restriction" imposed where considered necessary. Suitable flagman/detonators shall be provided where necessary for protection of trains.

iv) The supervisors and workmen should be counseled about safety measures. A competency certificate to the contractor's supervisors shall be issued by ADEN, which will be valid only for the work for which it has been issued.

v) The unloaded ballast/rails/sleepers/other P.Way materials after unloading along the track should be kept clear off moving dimensions and stacked as per the specified heights and distance from the running track.

vi) While working in OHE area, the structure bonds, track bonds, cross bonds, longitudinal rail bonds etc. are not to be disturbed and if disconnected after taking "Permit to work" they are reconnected properly when the work is completed. Also all other instructions in this regard are to be followed strictly.
