Do not approach a fallen cable or a derailed vehicle with an extended pantograph. The pantograph shall, if possible, be retracted. If this is not possible, the electrical operations manager shall be immediately contacted for voltage disconnection. Ring immediately emergency no. 112 or Trafikverket s traffic centre. Warn other individuals and wait, depending on the circumstances, until an electrical works supervisor or a responsible officer from the rescue services arrives on the scene and takes over responsibility. 1.2 Ladders and other long items Items made of conductive material may not be handled in such a way that there is a risk of them entering the immediate area. A moveable ladder that is longer than 2 m and which is handled within 4 m of a high-voltage facility shall be made of non-conductive material and be provided with a warning sign for electrical danger. The warning sign shall be designed in accordance with the requirements of ELSÄK-FS 2008:2, General warning for electrical danger and be placed approximately 2 m from the base of the ladder. 10(12)
1.3 Switch-heat facilities In the event of a fault in a switch-heat element, the rails may receive dangerous voltage. In order to eliminate the risk of damage owing to a fault, the switch-heat facilitiy shall always be disconnected when working in switches. For work in which there is no direct contact with the rails (for example snow clearance with a broom, the cleaning of switch rod pits), switch-heat facilities do not need to be disconnected. For work on switch-heat facilities, the regulations of ESA (Electrical Safety Instructions) shall be followed. In risk assessments, it shall be stated whether or not switch-heat facilities need to be disconnected. 1.4 Access to operation rooms In order to be given access to operation rooms without personal supervision, the personnel concerned need to be sufficiently well instructed to avoid the dangers that electricity can lead to. Personnel who are not sufficiently well instructed may only access operation rooms under the supervision of a technically competent person. Other regulations for operation rooms are stipulated in ELSÄK-FS 2008:2. 2 Safety zone The safety zone extends at least 2.20 m out from the nearest rail. Nobody is allowed to be within the safety zone 10 seconds before a rail vehicle passes. Stockpiles or similar are not allowed to extend into the safety zone or closer than 4 m to a live infrastructure component. 3 Safety clothing People who access the track area shall wear safety clothing on the upper parts of their bodies that meets the requirements of Standard EN 471, Class 2. Logotypes or other colours that are not fluorescent may not have an influence on the area specified by the Standard. Comments: BVF 924 Regulations for working environment and safety for railway undertakings in connection with activities in track areas shall be deleted and replaced by BVF 923 Safety for activities in the track area. Those sections in BVF 923 that are of relevance for inclusion in the Network Statement have been compiled in this annex.

Category A Stations controlled remotely from a dispatch centre and stations that are permanently locally monitored belong to Category A. No special conditions are specified for capacity allocation on these stations because of monitoring. Stations that are permanently locally monitored Revision 04-04-2013 according to amendment 5 - Alvesta - Avafors - Borlänge - Helsingborg - Kil - Luleå - Nässjö - Sundsvall - Södertälje hamn - Trelleborg - Ånge Category B Stations that are locally monitored for a certain time according to a plan belong to Category B. Trafikverket plans monitoring at these stations on the basis of: - the needs that follow from applications for train paths ahead of the future annual timetable, and the resources available to Trafikverket - the additional needs for monitoring that follow from applications for train paths after confirmation of the annual timetable ( ad hoc applications ) and the resources available to Trafikverket. An ad hoc train path application that would result in additional monitoring will be submitted to Trafikverket eight weeks in advance. Trafikverket decides, based on the application, if this one will be effectuated. This category also includes stations that are remotely controlled from a dispatch centre at certain times and which are locally monitored for the rest of the time. During periods when the station is remotely controlled, the scope for capacity allocation may be limited. Stations which are locally monitored at some times and remotely controlled at other times, according to a plan: - Fagersta central - Karlstad - Jönköping freight yard - Ystad 1
