ABSTRACT
In recent years, operations associated with engineering work on the railways have come under scrutiny, to both optimize performance and control risk. As would be expected, the causes of these were multifaceted. Incidents of a lesser magnitude occur every day on the infrastructure, resulting in loss of the infrastructure, time, and delay or personal injury. Recognising the importance of communication and the implication of communication failures, a detailed study commissioned. This paper summarises the work carried out and examines three tools used for assessment, the results will have on operations and procedures.
