Visakhaptnam Indian News Times:4 Aug, General Manager, South Coast Railway, Shri Sandeep Mathur, today chaired a Safety Meeting with Principal Heads of all Departments (PHODs) and the DRMs of Four Divisions and reviewed the safety preparedness of the Zone, with special emphasis on precautions to be taken during the monsoon season at railway stations and ongoing work sites.
During the meeting, General Manager directed officials to ensure that all necessary monsoon safety precautions are strictly followed at stations, yards and railway work sites. He stressed the need for continuous monitoring of vulnerable locations, proper drainage arrangements, removal of waterlogging, and prompt attention to any safety-related issues arising due to heavy rains and strong winds.
General Manager further emphasized that all ongoing construction and maintenance works must be adequately barricaded to prevent accidental entry of passengers, staff and other unauthorized persons into work zones. Barricades should be sturdy, clearly visible and properly maintained, particularly at locations where works are being carried out in passenger movement areas.
At railway stations, officials were instructed to ensure proper barricading and safe segregation of passenger areas from ongoing works, along with adequate illumination, signage and other safety measures. Special attention should be given to platforms, circulating areas, approaches and other locations prone to water accumulation or slippery conditions during the monsoon.
Shri Sandeep Mathur directed all concerned officials to maintain heightened vigilance and ensure zero compromise on safety, especially during adverse weather conditions.
