Workwear and PPE for the Rail Industry RIS 3279
Railway PPE and workwear are mandatory while workers are in the vicinity of a railway in the UK. This is to ensure workers are visible at all times. Some work on the track is undertaken when no passenger trains are running. However, much of the work happens on active railways throughout both day and night and in varying climatic conditions. This means in effect that various hazards and dangers are always present and it is important that the highest levels of visibility and safety are maintained.
