8. TRAVELLING OVER LEVEL CROSSINGS

The Competent Worker in the leading Track Vehicle must tell the other Track Vehicle
Operators:
 that the Track Vehicle is approaching a Level Crossing, and the following Track
Vehicle Operators are to reduce their speed and be prepared to Stop;
 they are to close up safely and Travel over the Level Crossing as a group; and
 the Track Vehicle Operator must ensure that all Track Vehicles, in particular
insulated Track Vehicles, Travel over a Level Crossing only if it is safe to do so.
If a Track Vehicle cannot reliably operate the Signalling system and Level Crossing
Warning equipment as approved by the Rollingstock Manager, the Track Vehicle
Operator must stop short of the Level Crossing.
Before Travelling over a Level Crossing, the Competent Worker must make sure that:
 the Level Crossing is Clear of all road or pedestrian traffic;
 there is sufficient Sighting Distance to enable their Vehicle to cross; or
 if required, they manually operate the Level Crossing Warning equipment.
