Electrical Safety Campaigns

Our safety campaigns are designed to promote a safety-first culture among everyone involved in works on the electrified railway, including designers and back-office support, to those working trackside.

Creating a safety-first culture is central to the electrical safety strategy. While improved safety standards and new technologies are essential, they are not enough on their own. We must also influence how people think and behave, embedding a mindset where working safely becomes second nature.

Help remind everyone of the importance of safe behaviours, and the real impact when things go wrong. Watch our latest safety campaign and share it with your team during your next safety hour.
