ORR's Health & Safety Strategy and Guidance
HSE: Keep your top on - health risks from working in the sun
Siemens' "Why don't you" list
During #RSW23, all their offices, factories, depots and sites were given a list of “Why don’t you” for each day and were asked to pick at least one thing to do.
Why not take a look and create your own list for engaging your workforce during Rail Safety Week 2025?
HSE: Working at height - a brief guide
REAX Premium Safety Videos
REAX is proudly supporting #RSW25 and is making some of their Premium videos freely available to help colleagues stay safe.
Check out the series below which explore:
- Working At Height
- Confined Spaces
- Masterclass - ACX
HIERARCHY OF FALL PROTECTION EXPLAINED | REAX break down key elements of the Work at Height Regulations 2005 (as amended in 2007) and provide practical examples for real-world application.
WHAT ARE FALL FACTORS WHEN WORKING AT HEIGHT? Understanding fall factors is essential to managing safety risks during height-related tasks. Andy explains the basics of fall factors (0, 1, and 2) and their practical implications for positioning lanyards and ensuring safer operations.
WHAT DOES FALL ARREST MEAN? REAX break down the basics of Fall Arrest Systems, their purpose, and how they protect workers from serious injury. Falls from height remain one of the leading causes of workplace accidents, and understanding proper fall protection techniques is critical.
WHAT IS WORK POSITIONING? REAX explain what work positioning is and why it plays a critical role in working safely at height.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES | When working in confined spaces, being prepared for an emergency is critical. REAX break down the essential emergency protocols for low, medium, and high-risk confined spaces to ensure your team is ready for anything.
DAILY & GENERAL CHECK - FULL SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS SCBA | REAX walk you through a step-by-step SCBA inspection, covering everything from visual checks to pressure testing and mask sealing.
THE SIX ROLES IN A CONFINED SPACE TEAM | Who does what in a confined space team? In this video, REAX break down the six essential roles that make up an effective confined space entry team.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ESCAPE SETS | REAX show the key differences between two types of compressed air escape sets—snorkel hood and face mask types.
ESCAPE SET DURATION | The difference between constant flow (hood type) and on-demand (face mask type) escape sets, and how user activity levels impact real-world usage time.
INTRODUCTION TO GAS MONITORS | The first video in REAX's series on Gas Monitors and how to use them. Learn the essentials of using a four-way gas monitor in this introductory guide. This video covers key features, setup, and navigation to ensure your gas monitor is ready for confined space operations.
CONTINUOUS GAS MONITORING IN A CONFINED SPACE | So you've gas checked your space prior to entry. Good job! But don't put your gas monitor down just yet.... Safety in confined spaces requires more than just initial checks—it demands continuous gas monitoring to adapt to changing conditions and prevent incidents.
THE THREE-STAGE GAS CHECK | Gas testing is a critical part of ensuring safety in confined spaces. REAX walk you through the three-stage gas check process to identify and mitigate hazards before entry.
VENTILATION - HOW TO CLEAR THE AIR | Proper ventilation is vital when harmful gases are detected during confined space operations. Reax break down essential strategies to ensure a safe working environment.
ACX MASTERCLASS | REAX take an in-depth look at the Skylotec Actsafe ACX Power Ascender, a versatile and efficient tool used in various industries for vertical work.
