Take steps to ensure propelling movements are carried out from a safe position to control movements by line of sight, including the use of a second man when line of sight is restricted.

Tranz Rail do not accept this recommendation as it is considered the Remote Control Operator (RCO) was appropriately positioned to control the movement by line of sight but did not have the movement under sufficient control. Tranz Rail will focus on maintaining control of shunting movements during staff briefings and Safety Observations.
