Your depot staff are your biggest asset and ensuring they are safe is key to your business. A Depot Protection System or DPS should provide the greatest level of protection for your staff against train movements and the OLE.
Train movements in and out of the maintenance depot are no doubt a potential safety hazard for staff – whilst improvements to rail infrastructure and technology developments have contributed to enhance railway safety, there is still some way to go to achieve Network Rail’s objective of “everyone home safe every day. “
