Written by Darren Wells, 25 years on UK infrastructure programmes including CTRL, Crossrail and Network Rail.

Permits, records and an early warning for work in a weekend or possession window

“The possession overran. Whose fault was it?”

When a weekend or possession job runs late, the argument starts on Monday morning. Was the site handed over late? Was the instruction to change the work given at 3am, and by whom? Were the gang on their fourth night shift? This pack keeps that record as the work happens:

  • the permits for the work inside the window
  • an instruction log and diary written on the night
  • attendance and output
  • a fatigue plan for the shift pattern
  • an early warning for the overrun risk, before it becomes a dispute

On the railway

This pack doesn’t replace the infrastructure manager’s rules or your possession arrangements. It is not a Network Rail product and doesn’t claim compliance with Network Rail standards. For rail work, use it alongside the infrastructure manager’s own requirements and our Rail Contractor Procedures Pack.
