Standard 019 Update Briefing
Version 1
Network Rail Safety Vision
Safety… we have committed to
eliminating workforce fatalities and all
major injuries.
I know that improving workforce safety is
not only the right thing to do from a moral
and ethical perspective, it's also good
business.
Safety and performance go hand in hand.
My belief in this approach led to the
launch of our Safety Vision and the
refresh of our Lifesaving Rules.

What’s new?
The person in charge
The person in charge is a new capability, not a competence
The person in charge will be appointed by the Responsible Manager
on their ability to manage the work activity planned and have an
understanding of the risks
The person in charge will make sure that all risk controls have been
implemented
The person in charge must hold a COSS competence and may act as
the COSS or delegate the COSS duties
The person in charge and the planner will collaborate to produce the
Safe Work Pack (SWP), which the person in charge will verify.
Standard 019 Update Briefing

What’s new?
Safe Work Pack (SWP)
The SWP provides information on how work is to be carried out safely and
gives details on how to manage and control task, site and operational risks.
It enables effective management and implementation of controls for the safety
of people involved, or who might be affected by the work activities on or near
the line, or which might affect the line.
SWP refers to the documentation provided to the person in charge for the work
they are to undertake. The information contained in the SWP should be:
a) concise and relevant to the task and
location where the work is being
undertaken; and
Standard 019 Update Briefing
b) provide clear information to allow the
person in charge to effectively use it
to manage the risks to themselves
and those working under their
supervision.

Currently a SSOW pack looks like….
• SSOW pack verification form
• Part completed RT9909 Record of arrangements
• Part completed RT3181 form(s) – where blockage(s)
of the line are part of the SSOW pack
• Possession arrangements
SSOW
• Safe access and egress information including walking
to and from site
• Sectional Appendix extracts showing the relevant
running lines, track layout and work location for the
entire mileage for which the work group will be On or
Near the Line
• National Hazard Directory extracts that are relevant to
the work and location
• Signalling or track diagrams where used
• Emergency arrangements
Standard 019 Update Briefing

What extra goes into a Safe Work Pack?
Additional contents required:
• SWP validation form, instead of the
SSOWP verification form.
• Site risk information and controls required
Safe Work
Pack
• Task risk information and controls required
e.g. task risk control sheets, work package
plans or task briefing sheets
• Permits, where applicable, such as lifting
plans, electrical, isolation, hot works,
confined spaces
• Welfare arrangements and their location

What’s new?
Hierarchy of Control – Operational Risk
There are 8 Levels of hierarchy now, with a renaming of previous levels – Red & Green
zone terms replaced with Protection and Warning arrangements. Same requirements are
required for justification of level planned.

Over to you…
Now that you’ve seen in full the revised 019 standard, to conclude the brief it is
over to you. Discuss in your groups:
1. What you believe the key issues you will face locally?
2. Agree consensus on the top priority issues you believe need to be resolved in
your area.
3. Suggest actions which could address each of your priority issues.
4. How can you individually contribute to these actions?
