S&SD Dashboard – Period 13 IP Southern S&SD KPIs

IP Southern has ended

the year with an LTIFR of

0.282. A huge well done

to everyone for their

commitment to the safety

of themselves and their

colleagues. Other KPIs

also improved, in

particular close calls

where the number of

which more than doubled

compared to 14/15.

That said 90 people didn’t

go home safe in 15/16

and in particular we had 2

Specified RIDDORs in

P11 & P13.

A great improvement in

safety performance 15/16

but still significant scope

for improvement going

forwards.

IPS LTIFR & FWI

The LTIFR for IP

Southern has dropped

steadily over the course

of 15/16 . However,

following two recent

Specified RIDDOR events

our FWI increased at the

end of the Period.

Studies have shown that

for every major accident

or fatality there are many

hundreds of events of a

far less serious nature.

In different

circumstances, these

Close Calls could have

ended up being more

serious accidents.

Incidents – Period 13

Specified RIDDOR

Arun River Bridge

South East

Broken ankle and injury to leg after foot went through a gap in the bridge deck.


publishing

8

Following the Specified RIDDOR at Arun River Bridge the IP Southern Engineering Team are currently

reviewing the design of the works to determine whether this design can be improved to eliminate the hazard

of falling from heights. The challenge that must be applied to all our projects is whether Designers take due

consideration of this and similar hazards in the design, and if this is the case, whether their proposals to

mitigate the risks are sufficient, buildable and correctly implemented on site.

There are a few levels of scrutiny the Network Rail team use to ensure that Hazards are managed through

the design and construction process including the implementation of the CDM Plan (where Network Rail are

acting as the Principal Designer), the Engineering Assurance Process, CPP / WPP reviews and the checks

that our site staff undertake to ensure what has been planned is effectively implemented on site. We need

to understand the effectiveness of these controls on our project - if there are gaps or constraints with

respect to the application of these controls and what lessons we as an organisation can learn when things

do go wrong.

Specific project teams will be asked to provide feedback on how effectively these controls are working and

what improvements we could make. Your involvement and honest feedback on this issue will be invaluable

to ensure that all the hard work the teams are putting in to deliver our projects does not get overshadowed

by issues that are resolvable through the design process.

Operational close calls

Victoria Station

Southeast

DC Cable Survey on the VTB1 line which was blocked by a T3 possession

cable attached to both of the lines. Due to the VIR being open half of the hook

switch was live.

Crowborough

Southeast

A Stop Car Mark (SCM) signage was removed from Crowborough station during a

possession on the 14th

March. A TOC representative reported the missing signage

Injury statistics

In line with reduction of

accidents in 15/16 the

number of injuries

sustained have reduced.

In particular hand

(excluding finger or

thumb), back, eye and leg

injuries have all reduced

significantly.

However, ankle, arm and

head injuries have

remained at similar levels.

Consider: What can be

done to prevent injuries

in these areas?

/

Close call or not?

Following a review of close calls submitted on IP Southern a key issue has

been identified showing there is confusion between to what is and isn’t a

close call.

In other words a close call is an incident or situation where no-one was hurt

and nothing was damaged on this occasion, but next time the outcome could

be different. The key word is potential – if injury or damaged has occurred

it is not a close call.

It is vital ensure there is clear understanding of what is a close call and what

constitute other forms of incident such as Operational Close Calls, near Miss

and Accident so that the correct action can be taken.


19

Close call definition

An event with the potential to cause injury or damage

/


20

Operational close call definition

Unsafe incidents that take place on an operational railway (including

managed stations) and have a direct potential for safety loss.

If left unresolved these may directly affect the safe operation of the

railway and lead to a safety incident, and therefore require immediate

action (formerly Irregular Working)

Near miss

An incident involving a train or rail mounted plant that has occurred

due to an unsafe condition or act and which in other circumstances

could have resulted in personal injury.

Accident

An unwanted or unintended sudden event or a specific chain of such

events which have harmful consequences. An accident results in loss

such as a personal injury, damage to plant, machinery, infrastructure

or the environment.

Did you know?

The reporting and

investigating of

accidents is covered by

Network Rail standards:

NR/L2/INV/002 -

Accident and Incident

Reporting and

Investigation

NR/L3/INI/CP0046 -

The Reporting and

Investigation of

Accidents and Incidents

within Investment

Projects and Asset

Management Works

Delivery.

These standard set out

the definitions, roles,

responsibilities and

process to be followed.

http://networkrailstandards/BSI/StandardHeaderView.aspx?id=22008
















/

In summary, if an operational close call, near miss or accident occurs:

1. It must be reported to NSC 24/7 as soon as practicable after the event

2. An initial fact finding exercise undertaken and results of this reported

within 24 hours (using the Network Rail Level 1 - Preliminary Report and

Investigation form or equivalent)

If the incident involves Network Rail staff at work this should be reported to the line

manager who is responsible to undertake points (1) and (2).

If the incident occurs on a Principal Contractor worksite it should be reported to the

site representative. The Principal contractor is responsible for undertaking points (1)

and (2) as well as informing the Network Rail project manager.

.


21

Please ensure that your teams are briefed and have a clear

understanding on identifying whether an incident is a close call or a

more serious incident and how to respond accordingly. Further

information and guidance on Close calls and Operational Close Calls

are available on the Safety Central HERE.

Hope Station –

Court case heard

Hope Station Accident update

– Court case heard

Babcock Rail was aware that there was a risk of collision between

maintenance vehicles and workers renewing the track at Hope Station.

However, they failed to take appropriate steps to prevent its employees

coming to harm following inadequate planning, coordination and

communication between managers.

A 3mph speed limit for vehicles was not being monitored or enforced, and no

attempts were made to set up exclusion zones or positions of safety for those

working near moving vehicles.

The court heard Mr Woolley saw the digger approach but was unable to get

out of the way and was crushed against the platform. He was “fortunate” not

to have been killed.

Lee Woolly was knocked unconscious and suffered bruising to his leg,

abdomen and back. He was on crutches and off work for six weeks.

British Steel Network Rail, buys more than 140,000 tonnes of steel rail each year

and 98% is made in Britain.

A Network Rail spokesman said: “Tata Steel is one of the most

important links in our supply chain, providing the majority of our steel

rail from its subsidiary, Longs Steel UK, in Scunthorpe. We’re certain

that both Longs Steel and its current prospective buyer remain

absolutely committed to helping us build a bigger, better railway for

Britain.”
