Sentinel: The Aims • Sentinel will become:

– Smarter – using the latest ‘smart’ technology to deliver and exploit information where it’s needed at all times – Simpler – one card solution, easy to verify, single source of ‘truth’

Sentinel aims

– Safer - “no-one undertakes an activity unless they have been trained and assessed as competent”

What’s in it for you? Cost: Fairer and more transparent cost to the industry Efficiency: Reduction in administrative burdens on your COSS and Site Managers by replacing manual paper based COSS forms with an electronic approach using smart phone applications. Security and transparency: Tightening the control of access to our sites (without reducing productivity) to levels that are common practise in other sectors and other parts of the construction industry.

Safety: Supporting Network Rail’s Life Saving Rules will further keep the industry as safe as possible – getting everyone home safe, every day We will challenge, review and eliminate or simplify existing processes, procedures and administration which no longer add value but do increase costs (time and money). We will explore new and expand existing services and capabilities that will derive real cost, efficiency and safety value to you from the information that Sentinel can access.

Data integrity

• Data Cleansing as part of migration from old Sentinel to current Sentinel (Sponsors) • The data migration from NCCA to new Sentinel will be in 2 tranches due to the 3 month first stage roll-out. • We are also designing a direct link between SkillsID and Sentinel so that skills data can be added once and collated across the entire industry.

How it works

• One of the big challenges of new Sentinel is to ensure that we have ‘one version’ of the truth. Successive upgrades have been built upon legacy platforms – leading to data inaccuracies. • All data must be as accurate and up-todate as possible.

The objective… To provide a simple, single point of entry for all supply chain skills through SkillsID. • Network Rail actively supports SkillsID.

• Sentinel will provide the passport for working on and around our infrastructure safely. •SkillsID will provide the whole industry with vital information to meet the challenges of the future. •Used together they will deliver huge and ongoing benefit to the industry. 9
