2. Safety requirements before starting work, when traveling from work and to work

2.1. Before starting work, the track fitter must arrive at the set time at the meeting point. Before starting work, it is necessary to receive an instruction from the work manager about the route to and from the work site, the rules for safe work, getting off the path to the designated places, check the availability and serviceability of tools and devices. Working with a defective tool is prohibited.

2.2. Before starting work, track fitters must put on overalls, safety shoes, orange signal vest and put them in order:

  • button up the cuffs of the sleeves;
  • tuck the loose ends of the clothes so that they do not hang down.

The track fitter must not remove overalls and footwear during the entire working time.

Track fitters receiving safety devices and other personal protective equipment (respirators, gas masks, goggles) should be instructed in the rules of use and the simplest ways to check the serviceability of these devices, as well as practically trained in how to use them.

Overalls, special footwear and other personal protective equipment assigned to track fitters must be selected according to size, height, and not restrict movement during work. The headgear should not cover the ears tightly (the earflap cap should have sound-conducting inserts).

2.3. The track fitter must inform the foreman (foreman) about all detected malfunctions of the tool, safety devices, personal protective equipment and other shortcomings.

2.4. The passage from the gathering place to the place of work and back should be carried out away from the path or along the side of the subgrade under the supervision of the work manager or a specially assigned person.

Passage to the place of work and back within the limits of the railway station (hereinafter referred to as the station) must be carried out along the routes of the service passage specified in the labor protection instructions and in compliance with the requirements set forth therein.

2.5. If it is impossible to pass on the side of the path or along the side of the road, it is allowed to pass along the path with special care. You should go one by one or two in a row, not allowing lag. At the same time, it is necessary to monitor the movement of trains and follow the instructions of the leader walking behind, and a specially allocated and instructed track fitter walking in front of the group. He and the other protect the group with stop signals (during the day - an unfolded red flag, at night - a lantern with a red light). In conditions of poor visibility (in steep curves, deep cuts, in wooded or built-up areas, as well as at night, in fog, snowstorm), in addition, the group is protected by two dedicated signalmen, one of whom follows in front and the other behind the group on distance of visual communication, but so as to see the approaching train no closer than 500 m from the walking group.

The signalmen must walk with deployed red flags, and at night - with lanterns with red fire and protect the walking group of track fitters until they get off the track. When a train approaches, the signalman is obliged to give signals to the group until it leaves the track; if the group has not left the track in time, the signalman must get off the track 400 m from the approaching train and signal the train to stop. In cases where the signalman is not visible to the work manager at a distance of more than 500 m, intermediate signalmen should be allocated.

Signalmen are appointed track fitters with a qualification of at least the third category, who have passed the established tests and have a signalman's certificate.

On a double-track section, it is necessary to go towards the correct movement of trains, remembering the possibility of trains following in the wrong direction. On multi-track sections and hauls equipped with two-way automatic blocking, the direction of movement of trains should be determined by the indications of traffic lights.

In places where snow is cleared by trenches, track fitters should take cover in niches made in trench slopes every 20-25 m from one another by the time the train approaches, with their arrangement in a checkerboard pattern.

When a train approaches, the track fitters must get off the track in advance for a distance not less than that specified in clause 3.3 of this Instruction.

2.6. The tracks should be crossed at a right angle, after making sure that there is no approaching rolling stock (locomotive, wagons, trolleys and other vehicles).

To cross the track occupied by wagons, you should use the transition platforms. It is allowed to bypass wagons standing on the way no closer than 5 m from the outermost wagon. It is forbidden to crawl under the wagons, to drag tools, devices and materials under them, to cross over automatic couplers and between wagons standing at a distance of less than 10 m from each other.

When entering the track due to switch posts, platforms, track and other structures that impair the visibility of the track, you must first make sure that there is no moving stock by looking along the track to the left and right. When crossing the track in front of the train, it is necessary to remember about the possible setting of the train in motion, as well as about the movement of trains on the adjacent track.

When crossing the track, you must not step on the rails, stand between the frame rail and the sharp point of the arrow, or between the movable core and the guardrail.

2.7. When delivered to the place of work by trains, trolleys, cars (specially equipped for transporting people), track fitters are required to follow all the rules for getting into and out of the vehicle established by the Instructions for the transportation of workers by rail and road, as well as the requirements of the senior group and vehicle driver.

Boarding and disembarking from wagons on double-track sections should be carried out only from the field side. Places of embarkation and disembarkation on multi-track lines are established by the leaders of the track distance, PMS.

When hauling bundles of links and rails on platforms equipped with removable equipment (CO and USO), workers must be at a distance of at least 10 m from the cable.

12. Safety requirements in emergency situations

12.1. During the maintenance and repair of the railway track and artificial structures, the following main emergencies may occur:

  • rolling stock derailment;
  • falling cargo from the train;
  • spill or spillage of dangerous and harmful substances;
  • fire of rolling stock and artificial structures;
  • breakage of the contact wire;
  • fire in the right of way;
  • embankment overflow;
  • violation of the integrity of the superstructure of the track, threatening the derailment of the rolling stock.

12.2. In the event of an emergency, the track fitter must stop work, immediately report the incident to the work manager and then follow his instructions to prevent accidents or eliminate the emergency.

12.3. Employees who are nearby, upon a general alarm signal, are obliged to immediately come to the scene and take part in eliminating the emergency that has arisen and (if necessary) providing first aid to the injured.

12.4. When eliminating an emergency, it is necessary to act in accordance with the Instructions for the organization of emergency recovery work on the railways of the Russian Federation.

12.5. In the event of a spill or spillage of dangerous and harmful substances as a result of damage to the rolling stock, it is possible to start work to eliminate the accident only after the permission of the chief state sanitary doctor on the railway (at the railway department, on the linear section of the railway), which determines the procedure and duration of work in hazardous area, as well as personal protective equipment used during these works.

In electrified areas, electrical safety measures are determined by a representative of the power supply distance.

12.6. When rolling stock or artificial structures catch fire, it is necessary:

  • immediately report this to the fire brigade, indicating the exact location of the fire;
  • if necessary, remove people from the danger zone;
  • inform the work manager or foreman (foreman) and then act on his instructions.

12.7. In case of participation in fire extinguishing, track fitters should know the following:

  • when using foam (carbon dioxide, powder) fire extinguishers, do not direct the jet of foam (powder, carbon dioxide) at people. If foam gets on unprotected areas of the body, wipe it off with a handkerchief or other material and rinse with an aqueous solution of baking soda;
  • in case of electrical fires, use only carbon dioxide or powder fire extinguishers. When using a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher, do not grasp the fire extinguisher socket with your hand;
  • internal fire hydrants must be used only by two: one rolls out the sleeve from the faucet to the place of fire, the second - at the command of the unrolling sleeve, opens the faucet;
  • when extinguishing a flame with a felt mat, the flame is covered with it so that the fire does not fall on the person extinguishing the fire;
  • when extinguishing a flame with a sand scoop, do not raise the shovel to eye level in order to avoid sand getting into them;
  • to extinguish burning objects located at a distance of less than 2 m from the contact network, it is only allowed to use carbon dioxide aerosol or powder fire extinguishers;
  • it is possible to extinguish burning objects located at a distance of less than 2 m from the contact network with water, foam and air-foam fire extinguishers only after removing the voltage from the contact network, grounding it and indicating the work manager or other responsible person;
  • extinguishing burning objects located at a distance of more than 7 m from a live contact wire can be allowed without removing the voltage. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the jet of water or foam does not touch the contact network and other parts under voltage.

12.8. If a break in the wires of the contact network or overhead lines is detected, you should immediately inform the station attendant, energy dispatcher or train dispatcher, protect the place of the break and make sure that no one approaches it closer than 8 m. If broken wires or other elements of the contact network and overhead lines violate the clearance of the approach of buildings and can be affected when the train passes, it is necessary to protect this place with stop signals.

It is forbidden to come closer than 8 m to the broken wires of the contact network and overhead lines, as well as to touch anything to them and foreign objects located on them, regardless of whether they touch or do not touch the ground or grounded structures.

12.9. In case of violation of the integrity of the superstructure of the track, threatening the derailment of the rolling stock, the track fitter must give a stop signal to the approaching rolling stock and report the incident to the work manager and the station duty officer.

On electrified sections, if there is a through transverse break in the rail, it is forbidden to touch the rail with your hands or any tools simultaneously on both sides of the break until the installation of longitudinal or transverse jumpers.

13. Providing medical assistance to victims

13.1. The time from the moment of injury (poisoning) to the receipt of assistance should be as short as possible. The provider of assistance is obliged to act decisively, but deliberately and expediently.

First of all, it is necessary to take measures to stop the impact of damaging factors, to correctly assess the condition of the victim. When examining the victim, they first establish whether he is alive or dead, then determine the severity of the lesion. In many cases, the victim loses consciousness. The caregiver must be able to distinguish loss of consciousness from death.

Signs of life:

  • the presence of a heartbeat and pulse on large arteries (carotid, femoral, brachial);
  • the presence of independent breathing (established by the movement of the chest, by moistening the mirror attached to the mouth and nose of the victim);
  • pupil reaction to light (if the open eye of the victim is covered with a hand, and then quickly move the hand to the side, then pupil constriction is observed).

If minimal signs of life are found, it is necessary to immediately begin to provide first aid. It is necessary to identify, eliminate or weaken the life-threatening manifestations of the lesion - bleeding, respiratory and cardiac arrest, impaired airway patency, severe pain.

Signs of death:

  • clouding and drying of the cornea of ​​\uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbthe eye;
  • cooling of the body, the appearance of cadaveric spots and rigor mortis;
  • constriction of the pupil ("cat's eye") when squeezing the eye from the sides.

In all cases, when providing first aid, it is necessary to take measures for the fastest delivery of the victim to a medical institution. The call of a medical worker should not suspend the provision of first aid.

13.2. When receiving a mechanical injury, it is necessary to stop the bleeding. In case of venous bleeding from the wound (blood has a dark cherry color, flows out in a uniform stream), it is enough to apply a sterile bandage with a tight bandage (pressure bandage) or pull a cotton-gauze swab well to the wound with a sticky patch.

When arterial bleeding stops (the outflowing blood is bright red, beats with a strong pulsating stream), the artery is first pressed above the injury site to the bone to stop the flow of blood to the injury site, and then a standard or impromptu tourniquet is applied. A note must be placed under the tourniquet indicating the date, hour and minutes of its imposition. The maximum allowable time for compression with a tourniquet is 1,5 - 2 hours. In case of any bleeding of the damaged part of the body, an elevated position is given and peace is provided.

In case of fractures, in no case should you try to make bone fragments - to eliminate the curvature of the limb with a closed fracture or to set the bone that has come out with an open fracture. It is necessary to ensure the immobility of the damaged parts of the body with a splint (standard or made from improvised means) and a bandage. With an open fracture, the bleeding is stopped, a sterile bandage is applied, and only after that they begin immobilization (immobilize the damaged part of the body).

If the ligaments are sprained, it is necessary to apply a cold compress to the sprain, then a pressure bandage.

In case of dislocations or other injuries of the joints, the limb is fixed in a position that is most convenient for the victim and causes him less anxiety. You can not try to reduce the dislocation and use force to change the forced position of the limb.

13.3. In case of a thermal burn with boiling water (hot food), it is necessary to quickly remove clothing soaked in hot liquid. In this case, do not tear off areas of skin adhering to clothing, but carefully cut around the clothing with scissors, leaving adherent areas.

Burning clothing should also be removed or extinguished immediately. This is best done by wrapping it in a blanket or other dense fabric. Due to the cessation of air access, the flame dies out. In no case should you run in ignited clothing, shoot down the flame with unprotected hands. It is useful to irrigate the burn area with a jet of cold water for several minutes or apply cold objects to it. This helps to quickly prevent the effects of heat on the body and reduce pain. Then, a sterile, preferably cotton-gauze bandage should be applied to the burn surface. The material applied to the surface can be moistened with diluted alcohol or vodka, which, in addition to anesthesia, disinfects the skin.

It is absolutely contraindicated to perform any manipulations on the burn surface, to apply bandages with ointments, fats, dyes. The use of soda powder, starch, soap, raw eggs is also undesirable, since these agents, in addition to contamination, cause the formation of a film that is difficult to remove from the burn surface. In the event of an extensive burn, it is better to wrap the victim in a clean sheet and urgently deliver to a medical facility or call a medical professional.

To reduce pain, the victim is given an anesthetic [analgin and (or) others]. If possible, it should be drunk with hot tea, coffee, alkaline mineral water. You can also dilute half a teaspoon of baking soda and one teaspoon of table salt in 1 liter of water and give to drink.

13.4. In case of eye injuries with sharp or piercing objects, as well as eye injuries with severe bruises, the victim should be urgently sent to a medical facility. Objects that get into the eyes should not be removed from the eye, so as not to further damage it. Apply a sterile bandage to the eye.

If dust or powder gets into the eyes, rinse with a gentle stream of running water.

In case of chemical burns, it is necessary to open the eyelids and rinse the eyes abundantly for 10-15 minutes with a weak stream of running water, after which the victim should be sent to a medical facility.

In case of eye burns with hot water, steam, eye rinsing is not recommended. The eyes are covered with a sterile bandage and the victim is sent to a medical facility.

13.5. In case of electric shock, first of all, it is necessary to immediately stop the effect of electric current on the victim. To do this, turn off the current with a switch, turn the knife switch, unscrew the plugs, break the wire. If this is not possible, then the wire is discarded with a dry stick or other object that does not conduct electricity. Do not touch the victim with bare hands while he is under the influence of current.

After this, the victim should be carefully examined, a sterile dressing should be applied to local injuries. With mild lesions, accompanied by fainting, dizziness, headache, pain in the heart, short-term loss of consciousness, it is necessary to create peace and take measures to deliver the victim to a medical facility.

When providing first aid to the victim, it is important to give painkillers (analgin, sedalgin and others), sedatives (valerian tincture) and cardiac (valocardin, Zelenin drops and others) remedies.

In severe lesions, accompanied by respiratory arrest and a state of "imaginary death" (pale skin, pupils are wide, unresponsive to light, breathing and pulse are absent, signs of life are established only by carefully listening to heart sounds), the only effective measure of help is immediate artificial respiration, sometimes for hours on end. If cardiac arrest has not occurred, properly performed artificial respiration quickly leads to an improvement in the condition. The skin acquires a natural color, a pulse appears. The most effective artificial respiration is mouth-to-mouth (16-20 breaths per minute). Artificial respiration is controlled by fluctuations of the chest.

After the victim regains consciousness, he should be given water, tea, coffee (but not alcoholic beverages!) to drink and covered warmly.

In case of cardiac arrest, an external heart massage is performed simultaneously with artificial respiration with a frequency of 60-70 pressures per minute. The effectiveness of massage is judged by the appearance of a pulse on the carotid arteries.

With a combination of artificial respiration and indirect heart massage, for each blowing of air into the lungs of the victim, five or six pressures are applied to the region of the heart, mainly during the exhalation period. Artificial respiration and heart massage are done until they recover on their own or until obvious signs of death appear.

The victim is transported to the hospital in the supine position.

13.6. In case of poisoning with poor-quality food products, it is necessary to induce artificial vomiting in the victim and rinse the stomach, letting him drink a large amount (up to 6-10 glasses) of warm water tinted with potassium permanganate, or a weak solution of baking soda, and then give milk to drink and let him drink one or two activated charcoal tablets.

In case of acid poisoning, it is necessary to thoroughly rinse the stomach with water and give the victim enveloping agents: milk, raw eggs.

In case of gas poisoning, the victim must be taken out of the room to fresh air or a draft should be arranged in the room by opening windows and doors.

When breathing and cardiac activity stop, start artificial respiration and chest compressions (see the previous paragraph of this Instruction). In all cases of poisoning, the victim must be sent to a medical facility.

13.7. First aid for frostbite is to immediately warm the victim and especially the frostbitten part. For this, a person is brought or introduced into a warm room. The frostbitten part of the body is first rubbed with a dry cloth, then placed in a basin with warm water (30-32 ° C). For 20-30 minutes the water temperature is gradually brought to 40-45 °C. The limb is thoroughly washed from contamination. With shallow frostbite, you can warm the victim with a heating pad or even the warmth of the hands. After warming, the damaged part of the body is wiped dry, covered with a sterile bandage and warmly covered.

Frostbitten areas of the body should not be lubricated with fat or ointments. This makes it difficult to process them later. It is also impossible to rub the frostbitten parts of the body with snow, as this increases the cooling, and the ice injures the skin and contributes to infection.

You should also refrain from intense rubbing and massage of the chilled part. Such actions with deep frostbite can lead to damage to blood vessels.

With general cooling of the victim, it is necessary to cover warmly, give a warm drink (tea, coffee). Painkillers (analgin, etc.) are taken to reduce pain. The fastest delivery of the victim to a medical institution is also a measure of first aid.

13.8. In order to prevent acute intestinal infections, it is necessary to observe:

  • personal hygiene rules - wash hands with soap before eating and after each visit to the toilet;
  • conditions and terms of food storage.
  • If signs of an infectious disease appear, immediately consult a doctor and in no case go to work, so as not to be a source of infection for others.

14. Safety requirements at the end of work

14.1. Upon completion of the work, the track fitter must:

  • clean tools, inventory, fixtures from dirt and put them in specially designed places and storerooms;
  • remove overalls and other personal protective equipment and put in a dressing room closet.

14.2. Contaminated and faulty overalls must be handed over to the track attendant for washing, dry cleaning or repair.

14.3. After work, the track fitter should wash the contaminated areas of the body with warm water and soap, or, if possible, take a shower.

14.4. To maintain the skin in good condition after work, you can use various protective ointments and creams (boric vaseline, lanolin cream, and others). It is not allowed to use kerosene or other toxic petroleum products to clean the skin and personal protective equipment.

14.5. All malfunctions and shortcomings noticed during work, and the measures taken to eliminate them, must be reported to the foreman (foreman).

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Large scale gravitational accumulator built 04.08.2023

Switzerland's Energy Vault has announced the completion and commissioning of the world's first commercial gravitational energy storage. This unique battery was built in China and has a capacity of 25 MW and a capacity of 100 MWh. Its principle of operation is to convert electrical energy into kinetic energy by lifting concrete blocks to a height and releasing this energy as they descend to the ground.

This gravitational energy accumulator, built in China, is the first facility of this scale and commercial purpose. Energy Vault previously built a 5MW demonstration battery in Switzerland, but a new project in China surpasses it. In addition, China has already expressed interest in building five more similar gravity batteries with a total capacity of 2 GWh.

The principle of operation of gravitational accumulators resembles pumped storage power plants, but without complex pumps and technological equipment. Blocks, weighing up to 24 tons, rise to a height of up to 100 meters and descend back to the ground to release the accumulated energy. It is an efficient buffer for storing energy derived from renewable sources such as solar and wind power.

The efficiency of the Energy Vault gravity system starts at 75% and can reach 80% and higher. The storage of energy, that is, the lifting of blocks, can last from 2 to 12 hours, depending on the specific tasks and available energy sources. The commissioned system in Jiangsu Province, near Shanghai, will operate for 4 hours. Connection to the power transmission network is planned for the fourth quarter of this year. The project impressed the local authorities so much that another similar battery was ordered.
