These days there is now work allowed on track with machinery or heavy power tools unless we have a high level of protection in place, e.g. Controlled Signal Blocking, Track Occupancy Authority, Track Work Authority, or Local Possession Authority.

If someone calls and tells me they are working on track, I have to fill in the appropriate paperwork and arrange it through Train Control. They then check that I have blocking facilities applied to prevent any train entering the section. The person doing the work has to fill out the same paperwork and read it back to me to double check that everything is correct.
