FAQ – Track Safety Heilbronn
Frequently Asked Questions
When is track safety required by law?
Track safety is mandatory whenever people are working or present in the danger zone near rail tracks. This applies to all maintenance, construction, inspection, or measurement activities. Regulations from DB Netz AG and occupational safety laws require certified safety measures to prevent accidents involving train movements.
How quickly can you provide track safety personnel?
In urgent cases, we can deploy qualified staff within 24 to 48 hours. For planned projects, we recommend coordinating with us ahead of time to ensure all planning, approvals and staffing are aligned with your timeline.
What certifications do your safety personnel hold?
Our teams are certified according to DB Netz AG standards – including Track Watchmen (Sipo), Track Safety Supervisors (Sakra), and technical system operators (e.g. ATWS). Regular training and re-certifications are part of our quality assurance.
