Safety for front line staff

RTBU members across the Rail Divisions working in front line roles with the public have contacted us over being physically assaulted, verbally abused, threats to be killed, spat on, stood over, intimidated, sexually and racially abused etc. during a normal working shift.

Inadequate staffing levels, poor training and lack of support by the rail companies has led the RTBU to launch a safety campaign.

We want you to have your say on safety that matters to you and to provide detail and actual experiences from the frontline roles.

If you have examples of when your safety has been put at risk please email rtbu@rtbuvic.com.au or call (03) 9600 3030.
