I remember being a PICOW all them years ago. Then it changed to COSS (controller of site safety), we still have COSS and also Safe Work Leader backed up with PIC (Person in Charge) who is responsible for making sure the safe system of work proposed is suitable and implemented properly. We do still use the safe system that the PICOW set up in the video but it has to be the very last option and authorised by senior management. Lot of safety improvements over the years, will always be down to people doing what they supposed to do mind and following the rules or potentially it's still as dangerous an industry as it always was

You can't step foot near the track these days without a line blockage granted where no trains will pass through the site of work...that is until a signaller has a lapse of concentration.
