Description of the Gateway Awards
The Gateway Award is an initiative contem-
plated in the Crossrail Target Zero policy
which performs an assessment of the part-
ners by means of a four-part system: lea-
dership and performance, communication,
health and prevention in design, health and
prevention at the work place, and improved
performance.
The following best practices were conside-
red exemplary:
•
Special labelling of construction equi-
pment and machinery to facilitate the
necessary inspections.
•
Protecting access shafts with special
scaffolding and steel beams to prevent
objects from falling down.
•
Promoting the implementation of
Nationwide’s “Sky Siren®” system for
working at heights.
•
Using a personalised access system
for the tunnels (use of access labels
and ID cards with photographs).
•
Training on the prevention of occupa-
tional hazards (NVQ2).
