Posted By David Brede Clearly there will be an expectation that you will be using an approved rail safe system of work to protect your workforce from rail operations so this will need to be included. Your workforce will preferably be PTS trained or have Track Visitors permit arrangements in place if this is not the case. Train drivers will react badly to having red vehicle lights in their line of sight so avoid that. Otherwise it is the obvious as you would expect for working alongside traffic of any sort.

Posted By Raymond Rapp David I assumed (rightly or wrongly) that the work was not taking place in a track environment but adjacent to it eg not on NR infrastructure. Ray

Posted By Neil R If your within 3 metres of the track you will need to look at employing a COSS. You could look at using a track vistor permit scheme for short term contractors too.

Posted By Mostafa Hi every one, Thanks for the responses, Basically its a wire mesh fence which is 6 metres high. The type of fencing is ball court fencing, as it will develop into a tennis court. The fence is going to be erected roughly 5-6 metres away from the rail track and is on flat ground. There will be trains passing through, I am not sure on the frequency yet. There are trees in between the rail track and where the fence is to be erected. The fence is boarder line of rail tracks land and the developers land, Thanks
