NR/L3/ELP/SAI25 Forms

NR/L3/ELP/SAI25 Working on or about Overhead Line Equipment (SAI), is being deployed across Eastern and North West and Central Regions. The current phase introduces an enhanced electrical risk assessment and clarification on the management of distribution interfaces.

Where introduced, it replaces NR/L3/ELP/29987 – known as the ‘Green Book’.

There are some new and amended forms which are to be used to implement the requirements of SAI25. During initial deployment of SAI25 in Eastern Region and North West & Central Region, these forms might be subject to change on a more frequent basis than the standard publication cycle. Publication and updates of these forms will be managed outside the Network Rail Standards and Controls website on this page of Safety Central. As a consequence, they no longer have an NR/L3 prefix. Instead they start with ELP/SAI25/.

This site contains the approved forms for use and is updated as required. For the standard and modules, please visit the Standard and Controls website.

Use this site for the current approved forms associated with SAI25.

Latest Update

Where a form has been updated it shall be used from the publication date.
