Crianlarich – Potential High
Impact Near Miss
Potential Injury at Crianlarich
Background
When the door of the Bass Wagon
was opened several Steel Sleepers
fell to the ground.
There was the potential for the
sleepers to strike the people on the
ground and cause serious injury
The bundle of sleepers was Banded
at source and were secure when
received by Babcock.
The Banding failed during the train’s
transit from Kingmoor to CrIanlarich.
It is likely that the bundle would have
been lifted and moved numerous
times prior to being received by
Babcock which may have weakened
the Banding.

Lessons
• Where practical visually check
the load prior to opening the
door.
•
•
Use the RRV to control the door
lowering when opened.
Maintain Exclusion Zones.
It is apparent that an
effective exclusion zone
was implemented and
maintained while opening
the Wagon door.
This prevented any
person being struck by
the falling sleepers and
potential significant injury.
