b) modules that also apply to those roles.

Purpose

This module mitigates these high level risks:

a) compliance with legislation (LOLER, PUWER, HASAW);

b) runaway/failure to stop on demand, e.g. on-track plant (OTP) running away on a gradient;

c) mobile elevating work platforms (MEWP) becoming out of control, e.g. MEWP operator being crushed under a structure;

d) collision, e.g. collision between a road rail vehicle (RRV) and an on track machine (OTM);

e) overturning, e.g. RRV overturning during lifting operations;

f) damage to assets, e.g. RRV or its load hitting a passing train during any lines open to traffic (ALO) operation;

g) derailment, e.g. trailer being loaded incorrectly; and

h) staff injuries, e.g. Operator being trapped between machine and infrastructure or machine and machine.
