As a TSC you will be competent to work alone and make arrangements to set up a safe system of work for groups of people who are to work ‘on or near the line’.  This training course will focus on the arrangements that are required to undertake the duties of a TSC.  It is vital for safety that a group of people who are to work ‘on or near the line’ must do so under the control of a competent TSC.

On this course candidates will be instructed on how to set up and withdraw Safe Systems of Work (SSOW) whilst applying rulebook standards to their daily work on the NIR railway infrastructure.

Candidates will be shown who they should sign in and out with - during Engineering works. 

The candidates will learn in depth what is required from them when setting up a different safe system of work in a Green zone (Safeguarded, Separated & Fenced) as well as how to set up, implement and test a safe system when working Red Zone (Working takes place between the passage of trains).

Candidates will be shown the correct processes to undertake if they are ever required to take a line block (T2A).  This includes where the information would be found, how they should speak to the signaller in the controlling signal cabin for the area and what equipment they need to carry out the job role fully in line with rule book regulations.
