RRO 2005 Article 21 places a training duty on the Responsible Person. Under JWCS’s view, training is not a check-the-box exercise — it is the route by which the engineered fire-safety provision actually performs on the day of an incident. A compartmentation line drawn on a fire strategy is a notional defence until the operator’s staff understand which doors must remain closed, why, and what to do when they find one wedged open.
JWCS develops training material that is asset-specific rather than generic. Toolbox-talk packs for site teams cover the hazards present on that specific worksite. Responsible Person briefs cover that specific asset’s fire-safety provision, the residual risks the FRA has identified, and the operational discipline that is needed to keep the asset within its risk envelope.
Project team inductions onto live operational railway sites cover the permit-to-work regime, fire-discipline-specific risks (e.g. hot works, combustible-material control), and the asset operator’s permit-to-work and possession protocols.
