In the rail industry, safety isn’t just a requirement – it’s a culture. Every worker on-site plays a vital role in ensuring that projects run smoothly and that everyone goes home safely at the end of the day. One of the most important practices in maintaining this culture is making close calls . At Deploy Recruit, we specialise in rail recruitment and connecting skilled professionals with opportunities across the industry. We know that close calls are not only about preventing accidents, but also about creating a safer, more proactive workplace.

The HS2 project remains one of the most ambitious infrastructure programmes the UK has ever undertaken. But alongside the promise of faster journeys and stronger regional connectivity comes a reality many in our sector are already feeling—years of disruption across vital parts of the rail network, particularly in and around Southern England.
