RT Infrastructure Solutions (RTIS) has officially begun supplying safety‑critical rail staff under Transport for London’s (TfL) rail labour framework, with services going live from 1 April 2026.
The framework has been established to support the safe and efficient delivery of maintenance, renewals and enhancement works across TfL’s rail network, including London Underground and London Overground. RTIS is providing qualified PWT‑EH (Person Working Track – Electric Hazard) and T002/3‑certified personnel to support possession management, isolations and works in electrically controlled rail environments.
Supplying Critical Rail Safety Competence
From 1 April 2026, RTIS has been mobilising experienced PWT‑EH operatives and T002/3 staff to projects across the capital. These roles are central to managing electrical risk and ensuring safe systems of work, particularly within London’s complex and high‑usage rail infrastructure.
The appointment reflects RTIS’s capability in delivering safety‑critical labour through robust competence management, compliance assurance and a strong safety culture.
A spokesperson for RT Infrastructure Solutions said:
“Commencing supply under the TfL labour framework is a significant milestone for RTIS. We are proud to be supporting TfL and its delivery partners with experienced PWT‑EH and T002/3 staff who play a crucial role in maintaining safe worksites across the network.”
Framework Focus on Compliance and Assurance
The TfL framework sets stringent requirements around competence, training, medical compliance and safety assurance. All labour supplied must meet defined standards to ensure consistency and reduce risk across programmes.
RTIS’s inclusion on the framework demonstrates its ability to meet these requirements while supplying reliable, well‑briefed personnel for safety‑critical activities.
Supporting London’s Rail Programme
The framework supports a wide range of planned and reactive works, including night shifts, weekend possessions and specialist access requirements. By securing experienced safety‑critical staff from framework suppliers, TfL aims to improve planning certainty, programme resilience and on‑site safety performance.
Since starting supply, RTIS has been supporting early framework activities, with further deployments planned with signalling personnel as works progress throughout the year.
The TfL rail labour framework now forms a key part of TfL’s long‑term strategy to secure critical skills, maintain high safety standards and support the ongoing delivery of rail infrastructure across London.
