Where the proposed Worksite is within 200m of a Protecting Signal:
two consecutive Controlled Absolute Signals must be set at Stop with Blocking
Facilities applied; or
one Controlled Absolute Signals must be set at Stop with Blocking Facilities applied,
with:
o Points Secured to prevent access; or
o an easily reached Safe Place available and a Lookout is provided.
A Lookout is positioned as a secondary safety measure and does not need to comply
with sighting distances as per Rule 3013 Lookout Working.
WARNING
The Lookout must not do any work other than look for and give Warning
about the approach of Rail Traffic.
If Rail Traffic can approach from more than one direction, the PO must protect all
Points of entry into the ASB limits.
If the Worksite includes the limits of a Terminal Line then Protection is not required
from that direction provided the Train Controller and PO agree there are no Rail Traffic
movements from that direction.
Protection will still need to be applied to prevent any Rail Traffic movements towards
the end of the Terminal Line.
