Arc Infrastructure is proud to once again take part in Rail Safety Week, an annual community awareness week held in Australia and New Zealand, designed to engage the community in safe rail practices.
Rail Safety Week sees rail operators, police, governments and community organisations unite by organising various activities such as media events, safety demonstrations, hosting webinars and virtual events, along with engaging with schools and community groups to raise awareness on the importance of rail safety.
To celebrate Rail Safety Week, Arc Infrastructure is inviting primary schools to enter the draw and win a free excursion to the Constable Care Safety School (valued at $698.50) with our community partner, the
Constable Care Foundation.
As the manager of the State’s freight rail network, Arc Infrastructure is committed to ensuring the safety of the communities that surround our network.
We invite primary schools to express their interest in visiting the Constable Care Safety School in Maylands, where children have the opportunity to explore real-life transport risks and practice road, rail, pedestrian, bike and public transport safety skills in a safe, realistic urban environment.
This year, Arc has increased the number of free excursions on offer from 15 to 20 schools and is offering to cover the cost of transportation for a select number of WA regional schools near the freight rail network.
The Constable Care Foundation is generously offering all schools who enter $100 off their next excursion booking to the Safety School.
Arc Infrastructure CEO Murray Cook expressed his thanks to the Constable Care Foundation and has encouraged primary schools to register their interest in the Safety School excursions.
“We appreciate everyone helping Arc Infrastructure and the Constable Care Foundation raise awareness on the importance of rail safety.
“We’re proud to have made our 2024 Rail Safety Week giveaway even bigger and better than last year, and offer more opportunities for schools to win, with a focus on including regional communities,” Murray said.

Fatalities, incidents and near misses on the network can cause severe and lasting trauma to the rail employees involved, and the majority of these incidents can be avoided.
We remind the community to be alert and safe around rail:
- Expect the unexpected. Watch out for trains.
- Trains operate 24/7, 365 days a year.
- Trains can’t swerve or stop quickly.
- Always obey level crossing signs and signals.
- Always check for trains in both directions.
