Track Safety Alliance (TSA)

The Track Safety Alliance (TSA) is an industry wide group which was formed in 2011 to allow a number of companies across the Track Renewals industry to develop and share best practice. The  (TSA) want to drive a step-change in Safety Leadership and Management throughout the organisations delivering track renewals and enhancement activity on the UK railway. The Alliance consists of Network Rail, the Tier 1 Principal Contractors, the Supply Chain and the Trade Unions.This is largely focused on the improvement of health, safety and wellbeing of track workers.

  • Working at Height
  • Fatigue Management
  • Safer Lineside Materials

TSA Waste Management Film

At the heart of Network Rail Environmental management responsibilities is the need to conduct operations in a sustainable manner and managing the natural environment responsibly, waste management is key to achieving this by;

  • Introducing waste management concepts of “Duty of Care” and “Waste Hierarchy” and how we apply these in the rail sector
  • Showing a clear course of action to be followed, and the reasoning behind this action and the importance of each person has in their role in effectively managing waste.

 The film takes the viewer through this process and will provide an overview and practice examples on how the Rail Sector reduces the amount of material it uses and minimize the amount of waste it produces with the ultimate aim of zero waste to landfill.
