PTS Trades

NES Track’s PTS requirements are for making sure that the people who work within the rail infrastructure are competent and medically fit. It is mandatory to hold a PTS card if working on or near the line. The card lists many duties undertaken within the rail environment following training and site assessment. All duties require the PTS endorsement as a minimum. Random checks and audits are regularly made to check the validity of cards, and cards can be suspended and withdrawn if rail safety rules are not complied with.

To hold a PTS you must:

• Be sponsored by an employer
• Pass a rail industry medical check
• Pass a rail industry approved Drugs and Alcohol test
• Attend a rail industry approved track safety-training course and pass the assessment.
