Text Box: One of the greatest problems facing any safety manager is the tendency, often by ‘old hands’ to ignore new and emerging safety practices, thereby exposing themselves and their colleagues to danger as well as having the knock-on effect of undermining the training and induction of new entrants. This situation is aggravated when management or the specialist media are not up-to-date with current requirements and procedures.  Since its inception ‘rimini’ has received considerable criticism despite the fact that, in its current form, it is a procedure which requires that a safe system of work on or near the line is pre-planned in an unthreatening environment by a competent planner who should be armed with the appropriate tools to do the job.  Whilst there are genuine issues surrounding how contractors are expected obtain these tools, most of the criticisms levelled at the process are based on out-of-date knowledge and unofficial jargon, e.g. the ‘rimini pack’. This is exacerbated by company and project procedures which sometimes conflict or undermine the author’s intentions.   The railway has always had its own language which newcomers regard as our jargon. Network Rail and its contractors are proving increasingly pro-active in running induction programmes for new entrants and personnel changing disciplines in order to overcome this language barrier.  Essempy runs both rimini awareness and railway induction courses which help dispel the myths and legends which hamper communications and threaten rail safety,     Text Box: Talking the same language!!
