Personal Track Safety (PTS) is a system of safer working practices employed within the United Kingdom designed to ensure the safety of railway workers who have to work on or near the line.

The principal hazards include collisions between a rail vehicle and a track worker, electrocution from traction power sources (third rail, fourth rail, OHLE) and trips and falls. The last could compound the other two (e.g. a worker could fall onto an electrified third rail). PTS ensures that rail workers are aware of their surroundings so that they do not enter situations where the aforementioned accidents are likely to occur, are able to move around the line-side safely and are able to react appropriately to circumstances (e.g. the approach of a train)

Deloitte LLP

We work with well-known Insolvency Practitioners and agents on companies that have gone into administration, securing assets and property on site, whilst also protecting Insolvency Practitioners if they are expected to visit bankrupt individuals.

As a trusted company, we’re often trusted to conduct any additional work, such as facility management, lock changes and boarding & hoarding to set standards. This enables the ease of paying one invoice from one supplier.

Our security officers demonstrate exemplary quality and standards, often reacting at short notice due to the nature of this work. On their behalf, we supply close protection officers, security officers and mobile patrols, as well as CCTV and alarm response.

Due to the evolving nature of sites in administration or vacant sites, security requirements often change once the threat level has reduced, due to the removal of employees on site or the sale of products. We’re flexible enough to adapt to such developments.
