Ref # 2014-004
Status Further Evidence Requested
Occurrence Possession Incidents - Trend Investigation
Occurrence Date 27 February 2014

Basis for Recommendation

The credibility of the Section entitled “Engineering works requiring absolute possessions – Section T Part III” of the weekly circular has been adversely affected by current IÉ practices with regards to booking and cancelling possessions. This has led to the Weekly Circular becoming ineffective for communicating actual works that are to be undertaken on a given day/night. The following safety recommendation is made to improve communication of possession arrangements:

Recommendation

IÉ (Infrastructure Manager) should monitor and review entries into Section “Engineering works requiring absolute possessions – Section T Part III” of the Weekly Circular to ensure that the information published in this document is accurate and credible.
