An Easter message from the

Track Safety Alliance

“What are the chances of an accident free Easter”

?

Virtually none when we see this!

Or this-

• From 2012 – 2014 we recorded 124 slips, trips and falls in Track Delivery, most were due to underfoot conditions caused by poor

housekeeping, and all were easily preventable.

• In the last month we have seen 2 colleagues sustain horrific leg breaks.

We’ve now reached more than half of last years total

and were only in April !

6 simple steps to prevention- • Keep your own work area and any walking routes free

from obstructions. • Make safe and report any other materials to your

supervisor • Take extra care in areas of artificial lighting or when its

wet / uneven underfoot conditions • Getting in and out of any vehicle should be undertaken

with plenty of care as to stepping areas. • Only use approved access points and use handrails

where provided • Don’t step on catch pit or manhole covers
