SAFETY & PASSENGER INFORMATION
Time to think lines
James Daybell discusses an often-overlooked safety issue. I
ncreased passenger numbers, harsher weather conditions and the additional
focus on health and safety requirements are all contributing reasons as to why station and platform demarcation is such a hot topic in the rail industry currently.
Paint is often a technology which many see as established and not in need of innovation, however, the reality is that in other industries it has made huge leaps and bounds and now we are seeing new products moving over to rail.
The biggest improvement in recent years has been in the road lining sector, where there is a requirement for lining that has a fast ‘traffic time’ (it is ready to use quickly), is easily applied, functions on different
surfaces such as tarmac and concrete as well as being highly durable and longer lasting, meaning less time and money spent replacing or repainting. All of these are desired features when lining a platform, service area or station.
Anyone who is in control of rail demarcation should be evaluating their current products and spend with the points above in mind. In a paint supplier they should be looking for a supplier that has products that can meet a spectrum of differing industry requirements, such as slip resistance, solvent free, fuel and oil resistance and durability. Ideally a supplier that is able to help with technical enquiries, and enables the right product to go down in the right place, is what you are looking for.
