When a Protecting Signal more than 200m from the Worksite is not available and a set
of Points is available to divert Rail Traffic the PO must arrange for:
- Points Secured for a different Route;
- place In-Field Protection in a Location that is clear of the Points and will not present a risk to Workers from Rail Traffic on the Adjacent line; and
- will not interfere with Rail Traffic Travelling on the other Route.
WARNING
PO must ensure that Workers and equipment do not have the potential to encroach within the Danger Zone of the Adjacent line.
FIGURE 6.3: Example of Protecting Signal and In-Field Protection less than 200m from the Worksite and Points are Secured for a different Route.
If Points cannot be Secured for a different Route, use a controlled signal at least 200m from the Worksite.
