Systems (1) and methods for improving the safety of a train depot (100) are disclosed in which a biometric reader (42) is used to obtain biometric data from a worker to be registered to work on a rail road (10, 20). The biometric data is used to determine whether the worker is authorised to work on the rail road, and if so, a list of workers (7a, 7b) is updated to register the worker as working on the rail road (10, 20). A safe setting places at least one movement control device (9) into a protecting configuration in which it protects against train movement along the railroad (10, 20). Switching away from the safe setting is prevented unless all workers are deregistered from the list of workers (7a, 7b).
