SPECIFIC FEATURES AND
RISKS RELATED TO THE
“LINE 3 CAIRO MOBILITY"
ENVIRONMENT

THE 7 MAIN RAILWAY SAFETY ACCIDENTS
1. Derailment
2. Collision
3. Fire or gaseous release
4. Explosion
5. Electrification
6. Falling passengers
7. collision of persons by a train

COLLISION BETWEEN 2 TRAINS
• The lessons learned is,
•NEVER USE
YOUR PHONE
WHILE DRIVING!

SPECIFIC FEATURES AND RISKS RELATED TO THE “LINE 3
CAIRO MOBILITY" ENVIRONMENT
Track Risks
• The agents who circulate along the tracks
and / or who carry out work on the tracks
must guard against a permanent double
risk of serious accident:
 The collision with a train.
 Electrification or electrocution.

The power supply
To run, a train must be supplied with a
voltage of 750V by an electrical
network made up of the contact rail
and the running rail.

Preventive measures while working on track
• Foot traffic on the tracks is only permitted for service purposes.
• Regulations & procedures to be firmly applied.
• Only “trained and authorized personnel” or accompanied by a trained
and authorized person are allowed on the tracks.
• Working on track only valid with a planned / exceptional Permit to
Work.

• Always watch were you step.
• Avoid all contact with the traction rail.
• Be careful at all times & stay alert !
• Don’t put your hand in your pocket when you
walk on track
• Avoid phone calls

WORKING ON TRACK MEASURES (PPE AND TOOLS)
 PPEIs Mandatory, In Particular : High-visibility Vests,
Headlights And SafetyShoes.

RISK AND
PREVENTION

RISK AND PREVENTION
o What are the risks ?
Electric power is everywhere, but you can't see it, which often makes us neglect this
risk.

Risks

RISK AND PREVENTION
The consequences of an electrical shock:
• Burns.
• Muscle contractions.
• Respiratory arrest.
• Falls, as a result of sudden and uncontrolled movements caused by
electrification.

Risks

RISK AND PREVENTION
Electricity-Preventive Measures
• Always consider electrical installations to be live.
• Any work on or near electrical installations must be carried out by specifically
authorized persons.
• Immediately report any anomaly likely to endanger the safety of people and
property (damaged cables, open electrical cabinet, etc.).

RISK AND PREVENTION
• Make sure the equipment is in good condition before each use, and do not use
defective equipment.
• Declaration of any electric shock, even seemingly minor, and immediate
medical attention.
• Observe the instructions for use of the electrical equipment.
• Access to equipment and premises displaying this logo is exclusively reserved
for authorized personnel, in possession of their authorization card.

RISK AND PREVENTION
Manual Handling-Risks
• Avoid lifting weights that are too heavy for you!
• Ask for help!
• Think about using an appropriate lifting tool if the object you are lifting is too
heavy.

Confined Space-Identification
• What is a confined space?
 A confined space is a space with limited entry and egress and not suitable for
human inhabitants. An example is the interior of a storage tank, occasionally
entered by maintenance workers but not intended for human occupancy.
• It is characterized by 2 essential elements:
 Insufficient oxygen.
 Contains flammable and toxic gases: Co, H2S, Methane ...

RISK AND PREVENTION
Confined Space - Preventive Measures
• Always make sure the are is well ventilated before entering.
• Always be accompanied by a colleague before starting work on.
• Use the detection equipment made available by the company for the duration of
the work inside the room.
• Always have a means of communication, report any anomaly, even the most
trivial.

RISK AND PREVENTION
Confined Space-Preventive Equipment's
Multi-Sensor Gas detector.
MSA Altair x4 is a multi gas detector:
• Oxygen (O2)
• Fuel gases
• Carbon monoxide(CO)
• Hydrogen sulfide

RISK AND PREVENTION
Confined Space-Gases
• What are the gases to be tested?
 Lack of Oxygen
 Flammable Gas
 Toxic Gas

RISK AND PREVENTION
Chemical
Products
• What are the chemical products?
 Industrial products: oils, solvents, glues, ink cartridges ...
 Building products: cements, bitumen, coatings, paints, etc.
 Cleaning products: window cleaner, deodorant, detergent, etc.
 Hygiene products: cosmetics, disinfectant ...

RISK AND PREVENTION
Chemical
Products
• Exposure entry routes:
 Inhalation : Breathed in (Most common route).
 Ingestion : Swallowing via eating or drinking.
 Absorption : Drawn through skin or eye surface.
 Injection : Penetrated through the skin

Chemical
Products
• Chemical products cause:
 Respiratory tract
irritation, asphyxiation
 Dizziness, neurological
disorders
 Digestive and urinary
disorders
 Skin damage (irritation,
burning, allergy)

RISK AND PREVENTION
Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE)
• Definition:
 PPE are means which is intended to be worn by a person in order to protect
him against one or more risks that could threaten his health or safety.
 PPE is linked to an activity

RISK AND PREVENTION
Noise
Safety
Noise and vibration can harm workers when they occur at high levels or continue
for a long time.
Exposure to loud noise kills the nerve endings in our inner ear. More exposure will
result in more dead nerve endings.
The result is permanent hearing loss that cannot be corrected through surgery or
with medicine.
Noise-induced hearing loss limits your ability to hear high frequency sounds and
understand speech, which seriously impairs your ability to communicate.

RISK AND PREVENTION
Noise
Safety

RISK AND PREVENTION
Noise
Safety
Adequate hearing protection is often neglected by workers yet avoiding or
improperly using ear protection can have serious consequences later in life.
Therefore, HEARING protection is a must in noisy areas ; different types of hearing
protection are available such as:
 Earplugs
 Earmuffs

RISK AND PREVENTION
• Ergonomics is the study of how humans interact with manmade objects. ...
For example, an ergonomic chair may help support your lower back
• Uncomfortable posture can cause various problems such as:
 Fatigue or visual discomfort.
 Back pain.
 Stress-related disorders.
Ergonomics

• Ergonomic principles for seated work :
 Reach the entire work surface without
twisting or extending your arms too
much.
 Sit straight in front of the work to be
done nearby
 Workbench and chair should be
horizontal to the forearms

P.A.S.S. METHOD
Pull the pin
This will allow you to
squeeze the handle in
order to discharge the
extinguisher

P.A.S.S. METHOD
Aim at the base
of the fire
Aiming at the middle will
do no good.
The agent will pass
through the flames.

P.A.S.S. METHOD
Squeeze the
handle
This will release the

RISK AND PREVENTION
Learn about emergency procedures and equipment. Understanding emergency
procedures means knowing evacuation procedures, emergency reporting
procedures, and procedures for dealing with fires and spills. It also means
knowing what to do in a medical emergency if a co-worker is injured or
overcome by chemicals.
