Creating a Pack - Access & Egress

Providing accurate access and egress information is crucial for ensuring safe entry to and exit from work sites. Accurail offers flexible options to input this vital information. Let's explore how to effectively use this feature:

By default, Accurail provides a comprehensive list of official access points from Network Rail (NWR). Here's what you need to know:

• These access points are pre-approved and well-documented locations for entering and exiting work sites.
• Selecting an official access point automatically pulls through additional useful information, such as the nearest hospital.

To select an official access point:

1. Click on the dropdown menu in the Access & Egress section.
2. Browse through the list or use the search function to find the appropriate access point.
3. Select the relevant access point for your work site. This will also reveal the ELR and Location of the selected Access Point

We understand that sometimes you may need to use an access point that's not on the official list. Accurail allows you to add custom access points:

1. Look for the "Custom Access" or "Custom Egress" checkbox.
2. Tick the box to enable custom entry.
3. The dropdown will transform into a free text field.
4. Enter the details of your custom access or egress point.

As of right now, there is no functionality to include multiple official access points. This could be achieved by writing the names of the access points in the custom box.

If you need to use a custom access point but still want to include nearest hospital information:

1. First, select an official access point close to your actual location.
2. This will pull through the nearest hospital data.
3. Then, change to a custom access point and enter your specific details.

This method ensures you have both accurate access information and important emergency details.

• Always verify the accuracy of custom access points before finalising your SWP.
• If using a custom access point, consider adding extra details in the free text field, such as landmarks or the What 3 Words location.
• Regularly review and update your commonly used custom access points, as site conditions may change over time.
