SAFETY ADVICE 21-01 - CHANGES TO HAZARD DIRECTORY

OVERVIEW

Changes to terminology in the Hazard Directory re use of Red Zone & Green Zones affecting SWP contents

Planners, COSS's and other trackworkers will already be aware that the term Red and Green Zone working was removed from the Rule Book a number of years ago and any reference to Red & Green Zone terminology was removed from NR/L2/OHS/019 Safety of people at work on or near the line in 2017.

However, any text referring to Red & Green zones that still exists in the National Hazard Directory will be bulk updated to remove those terms on 30 June 2021.

The revised terminology, consistent with 019, will now become Warning SSOW and Protection SSOW to replace Red & Green Zone in the Hazard directory.

When the bulk update is undertaken any plans you have produced or subsequently print out will contain the revised terminology.

There will be no need for any of your existing plans (including cyclical) to be re-verified or reauthorised by the PIC & RM respectively if they have already been verified and authorised.

There is no action required by users of the National Hazard Database, the change is automated and will not affect the operation of the system
