Key Duties & Responsibilities

There will only ever be one person undertaking the role of safe work leader (SWL) on each work site.

All work on or near the line, and any work which poses a risk to the safe running of the operational railway, will require an SWL and a permit to work. Permits will be issued for each activity before work starts.
