Creating a Pack - Welfare Details & Nearest Hospital

Ensuring the well-being of your team is paramount in any railway operation. Accurail helps you plan and communicate essential welfare information through two key components: Welfare Details and Nearest Hospital information. Let's explore how to effectively use these features in your Safe Work Pack (SWP):

Welfare Details

Welfare Details Section

The Welfare Details section is a free text box where you can provide comprehensive information about the welfare arrangements for your work site.

Best Practices for Welfare Details:

  • Be specific and clear in your descriptions
  • Consider the duration of work and time of year when planning welfare arrangements
  • Refer to NR/L3/INI/CP0036

Nearest Hospital

Nearest Hospital Section

The Nearest Hospital information is crucial for emergency planning. Accurail helps streamline this process:

  • When you select an official access point in the Access & Egress section, the system automatically pulls through information about the nearest hospital.
  • This feature ensures you always have quick access to this vital information.

Key points about the Nearest Hospital feature:

Automatic Population:

  • The nearest hospital details are automatically filled based on your selected official access point.

Information Provided:

  • Hospital name
  • Full address

Custom Access Points:

  • If you're using a custom access point, the system won't automatically populate hospital information.
  • In this case, you should manually enter the nearest hospital details.

Verification:

  • Always verify the accuracy of the hospital information, even when automatically populated.
  • Consider factors like traffic and potential route closures when estimating travel time to the hospital.

Best Practices for Nearest Hospital Information:

  • If using a custom access point, research and input the nearest hospital information manually.
  • Include any specific routing instructions if the quickest route to the hospital isn't obvious.
  • Consider including information about the nearest minor injuries unit or walk-in centre for less severe incidents.
