G'day,
An ATSB incident report just published regarding a safe working incident in 2017 in the Sydney Metrop highlights just how easy things can go wrong with work site protection.
In this instance, lookouts were positioned to observe approaching trains and warn the track workers.
But, that was deemed insufficient.
As I have already spruiked, the railway can be a dangerous environment.

We just hafta hope that fatalities are as rare an event as possible.
Steve.
