Rail Safety Week 2023

Gartner Rose supports Rail Safety Week.

Gartner Rose participated in supporting the 2023 Rail Safety Week campaign, which focussed on raising awareness of the importance of rail safety and to “Expect the Unexpected”.

Collisions and near collisions at railway crossings are ongoing issues that put lives at risk, severely disrupt rail services and traffic flow and have serious impacts on train drivers and other rail workers, along with the wider community. “Expect the Unexpected. Watch out for Trains” has been put in place to remind locals and travellers that trains can come at any time of day or night, including when we are least expecting them.

Throughout Rail Safety Week (7-13 August 2023), Gartner Rose updated its email signatures and Microsoft Teams / Zoom backgrounds to promote this important message. Gartner Rose also hosted a site BBQ at Waitara Station, the location of one of our current rail projects, with an accompanying safety inspection and toolbox talk about Rail Safety Week.

Tool box talks were also undertaken on our other rail sites (The Greenway, Mt Colah Station and Ashfield Station) and non-rail sites.

We thank our project teams, subcontractors and stakeholders for their continued awareness and engagement in safe rail practices.
