Single Approach to Isolation (OLE)
Moving towards a Single Approach to Isolation on Overhead Line Equipment (OLE) involves a number of phases. First Stage RoLE: Reminder of Live Exposed (RoLE) equipment was delivered in February 2022 with network-wide deployment. National Electrical Safety Step Up: The Step Up campaign was successfully delivered in 2023, reaching over 7000 participants across the industry. […]
Reminder of Live Exposed (RoLE) Equipment
Electrical Safety Delivery (ESD) is remitted to increase safety through designing and developing devices for use on Network Rail’s infrastructure. In response, the project (formally known as Demarcation) was established to develop Reminder of Live Exposed (RoLE) Equipment in alignment with SAI OLE and conductor rail. An objective of the project is to deliver a […]
Remote securing
New technologies are continuing to be developed to provide further benefits for Safer, Faster Isolations. Both the Conductor Rail and a.c. networks will soon be able to use Remote Securing App through world leading technology. The UK will be the first railway worldwide to use an app to remotely secure and short or earth an […]
Safer Faster Isolation (SFI) Technology
Why are we developing technology to enable Safer, Faster Isolations? Network Rail have a regulatory obligation to secure all points of points of disconnection and separation by the end of CP8 in accordance with the Electricity at Work Regulations (EaWR) 1989. By developing technology for SFI, we:- – Improve the workforce electrical safety risk – […]
