A practical guide to personal track safety for new rail workers - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com

Personal Track Safety refers to the rules, procedures, and behaviours that allow workers to operate safely on or near live railway lines. It's designed to minimise risks from moving trains, electrical systems, and environmental hazards. PTS is not just about memorising rules. It's about understanding why they exist and how they apply in real working conditions. When workers grasp this early, they're far more likely to act decisively and safely when situations change.
