Rail

The industry has several unique challenges:

• Staff have limited track time to execute works
• People are regularly asked to work in new locations with no prior knowledge of the site or hazards
• Sites are constantly evolving with new hazards emerging daily
• Geography and human nature can mean that people take shortcuts

Having previously owned and operated a Signalling and Telecoms Rail Company, employing over 300 staff, the Directors of Onwave have an extensive understanding of the challenges associated with working on the UK rail network whether on Mainline or in Metro type environments.

Management of these challenges is vital for the smooth and safe operation of the industry.

A lack of robust management could lead to people doing the wrong thing in the wrong location and we can expect a range of outcomes which fundamentally impact both staff and businesses operating in the Rail Sector, these include:

• Accidents, injuries or near misses leading to personal loss and the potential suspension of the business in rail operations
• Environmental incidents with the resultant fines and penalties
• Inefficient working, increased costs and delays meaning rail projects are less profitable
• Impacts to Network Rail, the TOCs, etc. through poor performance which affect your work winning capability
