Programme objective
The purpose of the training is to provide essential knowledge of safe behaviour for work or other organised activities within the protection zone of railways managed by the LTG Group and/or for organising work safely within the hazardous railway zone of those railways, and to familiarise participants with the established essential requirements for safe working and railway traffic safety, taking into account the requirements of European Union directives and standards, the laws and regulations of the Republic of Lithuania, and LTG Group rules and instructions.

Useful information
Railway protection zone
Protection zone for public railway infrastructure tracks and their facilities:
1) in urban settlements – a strip of land extending 20 metres on either side from the centre lines of the outermost railway tracks; however, the boundary of this protection zone must be at least 5 metres from the railway structure (the railway track and its appurtenances);
2) in rural settlements – a strip of land extending 45 metres on either side from the centre lines of the outermost railway tracks; however, the boundary of this protection zone must be at least 5 metres from the railway structure (the railway track and its appurtenances), except in the case specified in point 3 of this paragraph;
3) at level crossings in rural settlements – a strip of land extending 70 metres on either side from the centre lines of the outermost railway tracks; this protection zone gradually narrows to 45 metres (at a distance of 400 metres on either side of the level crossing).
The protection zone for railway sidings and their facilities coincides with the boundaries of the railway track structure; however, the boundary of this protection zone must be at least 3.1 metres from the centre line of the railway track (Law on Special Land Use Conditions of the Republic of Lithuania, Article 21).
Hazardous railway zone
The zone extends 2.5 m on either side from the outer edges of the outermost rail heads of the outermost tracks, or from those edges to technical measures restricting access to the railway track. This is governed by the Law on Railway Transport Traffic Safety of the Republic of Lithuania. Read more >
