Our specialised railway track safety training course is a must for anyone working on or near the railway. Staff and contractors are given a clear understanding of the key features of a railway, its risks, hazards and how to keep safe at all times.

Our course material can be developed for your individual rail site and can incorporate any special local instructions or other requirements that are specific to your operation.

All candidates receive a high quality track safety handbook which outlines the key elements of the course. This can be used as a handy reference guide. We also provide a rail operations manual to accompany our courses.

The course also includes a practical and theoretical assessment of competence for all candidates.
