Best Practices for Completing NR3180

Accuracy is Crucial:

  • Double-check all times, dates, and line details.
  • Inaccuracies can lead to safety risks and operational disruptions.

Coordination:

  • Ensure your NR3180 details align with other parts of your SWP, especially possession details and work schedules.

Multiple Blockages:

  • If your work requires multiple blockages (e.g., on different days or lines), create separate NR3180 forms for each.
  • This ensures clarity and prevents confusion.

Remember, while Accurail simplifies the process of completing the NR3180, the responsibility for ensuring the accuracy and appropriateness of the information lies with you.
