5.6. LOOKOUTS

WARNING
Lookouts must not use radios or telephones to warn Workers.

Lookouts must:
 agree with the PO about how Workers will be warned about the approach of Rail
Traffic;
 keep a continuous watch for the approach of Rail Traffic;
 remain within sight and hearing or in physical touch of the Workers. If this cannot be
done safely, the PO is to be notified;
 tell the PO if the Lookout needs to move from the designated position and only
move if all Workers and their equipment are in a Safe Place or a new Lookout is in
position; and
 tell the PO if conditions, such as visibility, change.

WARNING
Lookouts must do no work other than look for and give Warning about
the approach of Rail Traffic.

Lookouts must not:
 manage the passage of Rail Traffic;
 do any other work; or
 use any portable electronic devices, such as radios, mobile phones or any similar
devices, at any time.
