This recommendation is accepted. We are engaging with our Learning and Development team regarding course content for HRV operators, with a focus on the safety critical environment of the HRV cab when ontrack and understanding of risks (safe travel distance/speed/emergency braking/radio calling) when travelling under TPBM to a worksite.
