Study Notes
Safety, Breakdowns, and Disaster Management
- Safety precautions are detailed in Chapters 2-7 of the manual, dealing with rolling stock operation and maintenance. Compliance with these rules is essential.
- Additional instructions in this chapter supplement existing rules and manuals.
- Drivers/motormen must be trained to protect their own trains and others on adjacent tracks in case of issues.
- Rolling stock section officers/supervisors must be familiar with accident reporting rules and instructions for handling accidents/breakdowns.
- Emergency tools and equipment (e.g., jacks) should be maintained at electric loco and EMU sheds.
- Senior staff of rolling stock operations needs to inform loco controllers of their movements to enable timely response to emergencies.
- Restoration on electrified tracks must use hydraulically operated jacks, with overhead cranes only as backup and with the approval of the DRM.
- Dedicated breakdown gangs should be housed near loco/EMU sheds and depots to respond swiftly to breakdowns/accidents.
- Drivers must carry portable emergency telephones.
- Addresses and contact numbers of relevant staff should be available to the TLC and station masters.
- Quick track clearing is critical when a locomotive or EMU fails, following procedures in the relevant trouble-shooting manuals.
- Damaged locomotives should be hauled carefully as a dead vehicle—engine examiner certification required in certain cases.
- Staff must use safe procedures when working on the roof of EMUs/locos.
- If an overhead supply fails, follow procedures for stopping and ensuring the safety of the train.
- Investigate fire incidents thoroughly, even if not significant.
- Safe operation of train partings are to be ensured.
- Use appropriate fire extinguishers to handle fires in electric rolling stock.
- Preventative maintenance to control oil leaks is key to preventing fires.
