Working at Height Campaign for Rail
Rail operations run on strict rules, high-consequence hazards, track access, and public safety alongside worker safety. A targeted working at height campaign cuts through the noise, makes the hazard visible, and gives supervisors practical materials they can use at the pre-task brief.
What this campaign covers
- Falls from height remain one of the leading causes of serious injury and fatality across heavy industries.
- Every task needs a pre-start risk assessment, a suitable method of access, and a verified tie-off or guard system.
- Supervisors must visibly verify that controls are in place before work begins and after any change in conditions.
- In Rail, the campaign should address track access and lookouts and rule compliance and competency.

Frequently asked questions
- What should a working at height campaign include?
- A strong campaign includes a clear rule (e.g., 100% tie-off above 2 metres), supervisor verification cards, toolbox talks on common access mistakes, visible signage at entry points, and a simple reporting channel for missing or damaged guards.
- How long should a working at height campaign run?
- Four to six weeks is ideal. The first week sets the rule, weeks two to four build habit through daily verification and conversations, and the final week reviews data and recognises crews with strong compliance.
- How do I measure the impact?
- Track leading indicators: supervisor verification completion, near-miss reports for fall hazards, and observed compliance on access/tie-off. Lagging indicators like injury rate take longer to move but should be reviewed quarterly.
