We won't let an RRV lead to an RIP

This new campaign for RRV safety aims to highlight the dangers posed by RRVs and the impact an accident, or worse a fatality, can have on our workforce and their families. The campaign is delivered using a childs view point – illustrating the RRV as a dangerous monster. The key message take out being 'Keep a clear line of sight between you, the machine controller and the driver'.

The campaign coincides with a new national RRV Safety programme, which covers:
  • Use of radio communication
  • Implementation of exclsuion zones
  • Use of proximity warning systems for OTP

For more information on the National Safety Improvement Programme please click here

The campaign consists of a poster and an informative print piece which details the best practise guidelines for radio communication

    Why are we not pushing to improve the access facilities for RRV’s, this is where it all begins on the night. There are many VAP’s which are used as RRAP’s but are not suitable. Shouldn’t that be on the safety programme? No safe access, no safe method.

    Although not currently an initiative on the RRV Safety Programme, NR Maintenance are looking at its RRV Strategy and this will include RRAPs For specific local issues, please escalate to your Manager. They may be able to raise a case to improve these

      I have raised this on many an occassion, I've been told it boils down to cost, this is something which the H&S team will have to force through for it to be taken & accepted seriously before the cost becomes something irreplaceable.
