General Responsibilities
Signalling maintainers are responsible for efficiently maintaining the equipment on their sections to
ensure the availability of the equipment and its reliable
operation to safely and efficiently regulate
train movements.
When it is necessary for any work to be carried out on operational signalling equipment that will
effect, or may have the capacity to effect the status of the indication displayed by signal/s fo
r an
approaching train or the status of signalling equipment indication displayed on the signallers’/areas
controllers’ panel/s, the signalling maintainer prior to the work commencing shall contact the
signaller/area controller responsible for the area adv
ising them of the nature of the work to be
performed and the equipment that will or maybe effected.
Prior to the removal or disturbance of any signalling apparatus such as ESML handles, relays,
fuses, links, switches, or opening working contacts, the signa
lling maintainer is to contact the
signaller/
train
controller for the
affected
area/s including automatic signalled areas, to ensure there
are no trains approaching signals that may be affected by the interference of this equipment.
Signalling maintainers
are responsible for the maintenance of the whole of the electrical and or
mechanical signalling equipment, including the circuits and level crossing warning systems where
applicable, on their assigned sections in accordance with the Network rules and proce
dures,
maintenance instructions, maintenance rosters, technical maintenance plans & service schedules,
standard practices and procedures and equipment manuals. If due to unavoidable circumstances
the required maintenance frequency is missed, records shall
be suitably endorsed with reasons.
Where maintenance of an item of equipment or circuit is carried out by separate working groups
then the person in charge nominally responsible for the item of equipment or circuit is not
responsible for the work of the gr
oup who do not report to them but is to be vigilant and report any
equipment or circuit defect or maintenance attention required for correction by the other group.
For example, where signalling circuits extend over cables and/or linewires which are maintai
ned by
staff who do not report to the signal electrician then the signal electrician is not responsible for the
maintenance performance by those staff but is required to assure themself, as far as reasonably
practical, that the integrity and reliability of
those circuits are not at risk. Any work involving
disconnection or re
-
connection of signalling circuit wires and cables requires the attendance of the
signal electrician.
Signalling maintainers in charge of persons carrying out work for which the signall
ing maintainer in
charge does not normally hold accreditation, are to ensure that those persons hold current
accreditation and are suitably experienced for the work to be carried out and are to reasonably
assure themselves to the best of their ability that
the work is carried out correctly and is
satisfactorily completed.
Where signal electricians are in charge of mechanical maintenance employees they are also
responsible for ensuring that the maintenance of the mechanical equipment on their sections is
pro
perly carried out.
Signalling maintenance employees in charge of a section are also responsible for the maintenance
of all communication equipment on their sections excepting where provision is made for specified
communications equipment to be maintained b
y communications technicians.
Signalling maintenance employees in charge of others are also responsible for the direction and
supervision of persons placed under their control and in their care, and
is
to ensure the equipment
on the section is effectively
and efficiently maintained. They shall ensure that their signalling staff
are knowledgeable and competent to perform their duties and they shall develop the skills and
proficiency of their signalling staff. They shall train inexperienced and junior signall
ing employees

as required. They are to ensure that their staff are aware of safety hazards, that they know the
safety precautions and that they practice safe work methods.
Upon being assigned maintenance responsibilities for a particular section, accredite
d signalling
employees shall as soon as practical become fully conversant with the equipment and circuits etc.
on their section, including the particular condition and maintenance requirements of each item of
equipment, and the applicable specifications, e
quipment manuals, technical maintenance plans &
service schedules, instructions, procedures and Network rules and procedures. They shall
familiarise themselves with relevant emergency arrangements.
As far as practicable, they are also to become fully conve
rsant with the equipment on adjacent
sections, and thus be capable of performing effective service also on adjacent sections when
required to do so in an emergency.
Signalling maintenance employees shall be required, from time to time, to attend failures
or carry
out maintenance on other sections when the staff for that section are unavailable or require
assistance. When tracing equipment failures on their own sections staff shall, if required work on
adjacent sections to find and/or rectify the cause. In
such cases the local signal electrician shall be
notified as soon as practical.
Signalling maintainers, when attending equipment fitted with doors, covers, lids etc. are responsible
for ensuring that they are left properly secured in position, closed and w
here applicable, locked.
Signalling maintenance employees shall check items of signalling equipment during regular
maintenance visits, and whenever there is reasonable cause to suspect that reliable operation of
equipment may have been jeopardised, e.g.; b
y construction activities, mechanised track
maintenance activities, etc and also at other times when the opportunity arises and it is practical
and advantageous to do so.
To ensure the reliable operation of equipment, it is the responsibility of signalling
maintenance
employees to keep a lookout for potential failures and potential failure situations so that
preventative maintenance can be achieved.
The signalling employee in charge of maintaining the section shall report to the Signal Maintenance
Engineer
any matter which appears to require attention which is beyond their own means.

Maintenance
-
Frequencies, Reports and Records
In order that maintenance of systems and equipment is carried out in a controlled and programmed
manner it is necessary to keep
accurate, updated records. Signalling maintainers are required to
produce returns, reports and test records in accordance with these procedures.
In the event of a train accident in which the integrity of the signalling system may be questioned or
thrown un
der suspicion, the maintenance reports and records form an important documented
account, duly attested to the maintainer, of the maintenance of the system concerned.
Records of actual maintenance carried out are also required to assist in determining the o
ptimum
level of maintenance for each type of equipment.
The actual maintenance actions carried out are to be on the basis that it should ensure that the
signalling equipment will operate safety and reliably until the next maintenance visit.

2.1
Maintenance Fre
quencies
Maintenance Signal Engineers are responsible to ensure the performance of maintenance
necessary to meet safety standards and reliability requirements.
Maintenance frequencies are set out in Technical Maintenance Plans and Service Schedules.
Some r
egions/areas
may
have Tailored Technical Maintenance Plans and Service Schedules to
take account of the particular conditions relevant to that region/area.
Maintenance frequencies and maintenance tasks are to be in accordance with the Technical
Maintenance Plan (TMP) and the associated Service Schedules or an approved Tailored Technical
Maintenance Plan and service schedules where applicable.
Maintenance frequencies and tasks are subject to continuous review and Maintenance Signal
Engineers shoul
d take the opportunity to advise the Principal Engineer
Signals,
the results of their
experience to allow for improvements to be made.
The TMP maintenance periods are specified intervals for specified maintenance tasks included in
the Service Schedules and
are based on signalling equipment in fair and reasonable condition in
an operating environment of a reasonable standard with a high level of main line passenger and/or
freight traffic.
The Maintenance Signal Engineer is to direct that additional or more
frequent maintenance be
carried out where site specific conditions, (such as road movement, or equipment approaching its
life expectancy, etc.) would otherwise cause a reduction in safety integrity or in reliability below
requirements.
For non
-
vital equipm
ent, or on non
-
passenger lines with low to medium levels of traffic, or on
terminating branch passenger lines with a low level of traffic, then, provided the equipment and its
operating environment are in reasonable order, the responsible Maintenance Signa
l Engineer after
due deliberation, may apply for a Signal Engineering
Wavier
to extend the TMP maintenance
periods by up to 50% greater that the task period. (
CRN SP 04
9
.) This does not apply to the
frequencies of safety related inspections and tests which
are listed in the table of Signalling Safety
Tasks under section 2.2 ‘Management and Reporting of Safety related Examinations and
Inspection tasks’ of this procedure, where a Signal Engineering Waiver is required.
Where approval has been given to extend t
he maintenance frequencies and or modify the
maintenance tasks the Maintenance Signal Engineer will be responsible for regularly reviewing the
conditions to ensure that there are no changes that would affect the maintenance requirements.
Notwithstanding th
e scheduled maintenance tasks, signalling maintenance employees should be
particularly vigilant when attending locations to detect any deficiency in items other than that which
they are specifically maintaining during that visit. This includes bonding, not
ice boards, and any
changes to track circuit ballast conditions that may have recently occurred. Any defects are to be
attended to and not left for the next scheduled visit. Maintenance on such items are to be recorded
and the Maintenance Signal Engineer a
dvised.
Proposed changes to approved maintenance tasks and frequencies (e.g. tailored Technical
Maintenance Plans) requires approval of the relevant group within engineering and authorisation by
the
Principal
Engineer Signals.
Details of the planned mainte
nance schedules and frequencies and the actual preventative and
corrective maintenance performed, including safety related tests, shall be recorded using
CRN
’s
maintenance reporting and recording system.

2.2
Management and reporting of Safety related Examinati
ons and
Inspection Tasks
2.2.1
Safety Importance
A system of managing and reporting compliance with standards for nominated maintenance tasks
has been introduced for defined safety critical signalling assets and components. These
assets/components are defined as
item whose functional failure or secondary damage resulting
from the functional failure, either by itself or as a hidden function in concert with one other failure,
will result in the likelihood of a significant incident occurring, causing injury to the p
ublic or staff.
To manage the known failure modes of these safety critical assets/components the maintenance
tasks have been categorised as Safety Critical or Safety Significant tasks and allocated set time
periods with appropriate planning latitudes for t
he maintenance/inspections tasks to be carried out
to mitigate the risk of critical failure.
The difference in importance between the tasks allocated to manage these safety critical
assets/components is the failure characteristics of the condition being a
ssessed by the examination
task.
The failure characteristics of safety critical tasks are generally rapidly developing and adverse
following the breach of the defined conditional criteria. There is a significant increase in risk
associated with safety crit
ical tasks being extended beyond the specified task period without
defined and approved risk mitigation measures in place.
The failure characteristics of safety significant tasks are slower to manifest themselves and are less
likely to be adverse following
the breach of the defined conditional criteria.
The following definitions define the meaning of a safety critical and safety significant task.
2.2.2
Safety Critical Task
A safety critical task is one that protects against an immediately likely failure mode (or
root cause of
a system failure) in a safety critical asset/component where the failure mode is applicable to an
individual asset/component.
E.g
.
the safety critical asset/component
,
being the “Facing Point Lock” and the allocated task being
“Gauging the ga
p between switch and
stock rail
to ensure the lock has not drift beyond its specified
limits”.
2.2.3
Safety Significant Task
A safety significant task is one that protects against an eventual possible failure mode (or root
cause of a system failure) in a safety
critical asset/component whose reliability performance is
derived from that of a population of asset/components or is a quality check on staff performance
e.g. Signal engineer’s level crossing inspections.
2.2.4
Management and Reporting Compliance
The following
safety inspections and tests are required with returns to provided verification and
record compliance. Signalling form SFJ 121 or equivalent means is to be used for return of safety
critical, safety significant and other safety related examinations and ins
pection tasks as detailed in
the tables below.
Safety Critical and Safety Significant Tasks are to be completed within the defined planning latitude
as detailed below. Where this is not possible a Signal Engineering Waiver must be obtained.

The Signalling
Technical maintenance Plans defines preventive maintenance tasks for signalling
Infrastructure equipment. Each task has
planning
latitude which reflects the allowed variation
around the task due date i.e. an earliest start and a latest finish time.
Plannin
g latitudes are 20%
for tasks of 42 days or less and 10% for tasks greater than 42 days
unless otherwise
authorised in the TMP.
Safety critical and safety significant tasks shall be completed within the defined planning latitude.
For those tasks that canno
t be achieved due to special technical circumstances, a Signal
Engineering Waiver must be obtained from the
Principal
Engineer Signals or his authorised
engineering division representative. Details for obtaining a Signal Engineer Waiver are set out in
Sign
al Maintenance Procedure
CRN SP 048
.
Failure to secure the appropriate Waiver will require removal of the particular asset from service.
Items listed under the heading ‘Other Safety Tasks’ in the table below have generally long term
maintenance tasks, in some cases years and should normally be completed within the planning
latitude, however where
unforeseen
circumstances occur and it is kno
wn that the planning latitude
will be exceeded, a Signal Engineering Waiver must be obtained.
Work orders that become due within the scheduled period and are completed, shall be closed off
using
JHR CRN
maintenance recording system as soon as practical, bu
t no later than the commit
date for the next period.
