Creating a Pack - Location Information

Accurate location details are crucial for any Safe Work Pack (SWP). This section in Accurail allows you to precisely define where the work will take place. Let's explore how to effectively use this feature:

Adding Multiple ELRs:

  • Use the 'Add Row' functionality to include more than one ELR.
  • This is particularly useful for work spanning multiple line sections.

Confirming Location Information

After entering all relevant ELRs, it's crucial to complete one final step:

Hit the 'Confirm' Button:

This action is vital as it triggers the system to pull in relevant data and diagrams from various data sources. Without confirmation, you may miss out on important site-specific information.

What Happens After Confirmation:

  • Sectional Appendix information is loaded.

  • Relevant signal diagrams become available.

  • Hazard information specific to the location may be populated.

Best Practices for Location Information

  1. Be as Specific as Possible:

    • The more precise your location information, the more accurate the associated data will be.
  2. Check for Overlaps:

    • If adding multiple ELRs, ensure there are no unintended overlaps in mileage.
  3. Consider Access Points:

    • While adding ELRs, think about how they relate to your access and egress points (which you'll define next).
  4. Update as Necessary:

    • If work locations change during planning, always update this section and re-confirm to ensure all associated data is current.

Troubleshooting

  • If you can't find a specific ELR, double-check the spelling and format.
  • In case of discrepancies between your information and what's in the system, contact your supervisor or Accurail support for clarification.

By taking the time to enter and confirm accurate location information, you're setting the foundation for a comprehensive and effective Safe Work Pack. This attention to detail in the early stages of SWP creation can save time and prevent potential issues later in the process.
