3.3. General labor protection requirements when performing work

3.3.1. In cases provided for by the Instructions for the movement of trains and shunting work on railways, the work manager must make an application to issue warnings to locomotive crews about special vigilance.

An entry must also be made in the Logbook DU-46 about the place and time of work and the need to notify workers via loudspeaker communication or other available types of communication about the movement of trains and shunting movements in the work area.

You should go to and from the work site along established routes. When moving from one place of work to another, the employee is obliged to notify the DSP using available means of communication.

In cramped places, where there are high platforms, buildings, fences, steep slopes on both sides of the railway track, when a train appears, you must retreat to safe places, and on bridges and tunnels take shelter in special shelter areas, in niches or chambers specially designed for these purposes.

Work on bridges and tunnels, regardless of their length, should be stopped in advance in order to have time to get off the bridge or exit the tunnel and, in addition, to move away from the path to a safe distance.

You can leave the niches in the tunnel and begin work only after the train, locomotives and other rolling stock have passed through and visibility in the tunnel has been restored. You can return to continue work only after the work manager is sure that there is no train going along the track on which the work is being carried out.

3.3.2. When detecting (visually or audibly) approaching rolling stock, workers who find themselves on the train's route within the size of the rolling stock must move off the tracks to the side of the roadbed, including adjacent tracks, remove tools, devices, materials, products at a distance of at least 2 .5 m from the outer rail at established train speeds of up to 120 km/h, at least 4 m from the outer rail at established speeds of 121 - 140 km/h and at least 5 m from the outer rail at established speeds of more than 140 km/ h. When workers are on the tracks of stations when a train is approaching, it is necessary to get off in advance to the side of the road or to the middle of another free inter-track that provides the above minimum permissible safe distances.

When operating track machines, electricians and electricians should move to the side of the roadbed at a distance from the outer rail of at least:

5 m - track laying machines, electric ballasters, cleaning machines, rail grinding trains and other heavy machines;

10 m - traveling plows;

25 m - single-track snow plows.

When operating double-track and rotary snowplows, machines equipped with crushed stone cleaning devices, it is necessary to move to the side of the road opposite the emissions of snow, ice or weeds at a distance of at least 5 m from the outer rail.

3.3.3. On lines and sections with the circulation of high-speed and high-speed trains, in addition to the requirements of this Instruction, it is necessary to be guided by the requirements of the Labor Safety Rules for the maintenance of high-speed and high-speed lines of the Russian Railways JSC

SUMMARY OF TECHNICAL LESSONS

Topic: “Rules for the safe presence of employees of Russian Railways on railway tracks”

1. Safety requirements for passage along railway tracks and passage of rolling stock

1.1. Safety requirements when passing through the territory of a railway station.

Passage through the territory of the railway station is permitted only along specially established routes, marked with appropriate signs, pedestrian crossings, service and technological passages, paths, specially equipped pedestrian bridges, tunnels, overpasses, and platforms.

When traveling, you must comply with the requirements of safety signs, visible and sound signals, monitor the movement of rolling stock and listen to public address announcements and warning signals.

When leaving the track from premises, switch posts, platforms, buildings, track and other structures that impede visibility, you should first make sure that there is no rolling stock moving along it on both sides to the crossing point.

After leaving the room at night, you need to stop and wait a while until your eyes get used to the darkness and the surrounding objects are visible.

When crossing a track occupied by stationary rolling stock, it is allowed to use the transition platforms of the cars.

Before ascending and when descending from the platform, you must first ensure that the handrails, steps and floor of the platform are in good condition. Before you begin to climb onto the transition platform of the car, you should make sure that there is no permissive indication of the traffic light and sound signals given by the locomotive before the departure of the train. When climbing onto the transition platform and leaving it, you must hold on to the handrails and face the car, while your hands must be free of any objects.

Before descending from the transition platform of the car onto the inter-track, you should inspect the derailment site for the presence of foreign objects on the inter-track that could cause you to trip when dismounting, and also make sure that there is no rolling stock moving along the adjacent track.

It is prohibited to climb onto or dismount self-propelled rolling stock (hereinafter referred to as SSPS), locomotive, wagon and other moving units until they come to a complete stop.

Walking between uncoupled cars, locomotives, and SSPS is permitted if the distance between automatic couplers is at least 10 m, and you should walk in the middle of the gap. You should walk around rolling stock standing on the track at a distance of at least 5 m from the automatic coupler.

While following the route, workers must be careful not to step on electric drives, track boxes and other devices.

1.2. Safety requirements when passing along the stretch.

The passage from the collection point to the work site and back should be carried out, as a rule, away from the railway track, along the side of the roadbed or in the middle of the inter-track. If the movement is carried out along the side of the road at a distance of less than 2 meters from the outermost rail, then you need to go in the direction of the probable appearance of the train.

When driving, you must pay attention to the rolling stock moving on adjacent tracks and the indications of traffic lights.

If it is impossible to pass away from the railway track or along the side of the road, passage along the track can be carried out taking precautions.

If workers or a team is transported to the work site on a rolling stock, they should exit it only after it has completely stopped and at the command of the work manager. Boarding and disembarking can only be done from the field side of the railway tracks.

When delivering a worker or crew to a work site in a non-working locomotive control cabin, workers must climb onto the locomotive and descend from it to specially designed platforms, and in their absence, the right side of the locomotive in the direction of travel.

1.3. The procedure for passing rolling stock.

When detecting (visually or audibly) approaching rolling stock, workers who find themselves on the train's route within the size of the rolling stock must move away from the tracks to the side of the roadbed, including the adjacent track, remove tools, devices, materials, products at a distance of at least 2 .5 m from the outer rail at established train speeds of up to 120 km/h, at least 4 m from the outer rail at established train speeds of up to 121-140 km/h. and at least 5 m from the outer rail at established train speeds of more than 140 km/h. When trains are approaching on both (adjacent) tracks, it is necessary to get off to the side of the road or other free space in advance so as not to find yourself between moving trains. If you are forced to be between moving trains on adjacent tracks, you must immediately sit down or lie on the ground parallel to the railway tracks.

When passing rolling stock, all workers must be on one side of the railway track.

2 Safety requirements for work at railway stations.

Workers performing work on station tracks must be notified of upcoming maneuvers, the dissolution of trains from the hump, and the reception and departure of trains. Notification is carried out by those on duty at the railway station, hump, and shunting dispatchers via loudspeaker communications.

Information about the approach of rolling stock for those working on the railway tracks of a railway station is:

Sound and visible signals given by the signalman;

Signals sent by an automatic warning system;

Announcements given over loudspeaker communication;

Messages by telephone or radio;

Signals from the duty switch post of the compiler or other duty officer of the railway station;

Signals of train and shunting locomotives, SSPS, track machines;

Indications of traffic lights (entrance, exit, invitation, route, shunting, hump, group) and indicators on them;

Positions of turnouts. In unfavorable weather conditions (strong wind, fog, snowstorm), as well as on unlit tracks at night, shunting work should be carried out with caution, and, if necessary, at a reduced speed.

When performing maneuvers at work sites, at intersections of crossings, near passenger platforms, on the tracks of cargo warehouses, production bases, drafting and locomotive teams must be vigilant, sound signals in a timely manner when the rolling stock approaches people near the tracks or on the platforms.

3. Electrical safety measures when on railway tracks

Any sagging or broken wires lying on the ground, ballast or sleepers pose a danger to life. They should be considered live. They must not be approached within a distance of less than 8 m, and other workers and/or unauthorized persons must not be allowed to approach them. The location of the wires lying on the ground should be protected by available means and the incident should be reported to your immediate supervisor using any means of communication.

A worker who finds himself at a distance of less than 8 m from broken wires lying on the ground must leave the danger zone in small steps not exceeding the length of a foot.

If a sawn or fallen tree falls on the wires, it is prohibited to approach the tree trunk or branches at a distance of less than 8 m until the voltage is removed from the overhead line or from the contact network and they are grounded.

In the event of sudden detection of damage to the contact network, which does not allow the passage of electric rolling stock with raised pantographs, workers who discover this malfunction are required to move 500 m towards the expected train and give the driver of the approaching train a manual signal “Lower pantograph”: during the day - by repeated movements of the right hand in front of along a horizontal line with your left hand raised vertically;

At night - repeated vertical and horizontal movements of the flashlight with a transparent white light.
