4 . EXEMPTION CERTIFICATES

Exemption Certificates may be issued to Workers who, by the nature of their work, do
not work regularly on the PTA Network and do not have a TAP.

An Exemption Certificate can only be issued under the Authority of the General
Manager Network & Infrastructure.

When an Exemption Certificate is issued:
 it is valid for one period up to five days or as approved by the General Manager
Network & Infrastructure (N&I);
 the Non-Accredited Worker must be directly supervised by an Accredited Worker;
 the Non-Accredited Worker must be under the direct Protection of the PO; and
 the PO must, prior to entering the Rail Corridor, provide the Non-Accredited Worker
with a safety briefing outlining:
o the hazards in the Rail Corridor; and
o the actions expected of the Non-Accredited Worker to Warning signs and sounds.

NOTE
A Permanent Record of the safety briefing must be retained for example, on the N&I 8230-100-006 Pre-Start/Hazard Report/JSA Form.

An Exemption Certificate can be issued singularly or for a group of Workers. When
issued for a group of Workers, all Worker’s names must be on the certificate.
