'''Track Access Controller''' (known as TAC) is a safety related job post in the [[London Underground]]. They work mostly at night and protect workers in the track environment, during "[[Engineering]] hours" when [[Traction power network|traction]] current is switched off and passenger trains have stopped running. Using Line Safe and Line Clear rules they protect you from traction current as well as moving trains and vehicles.
 
Each Track Access Controller has responsibility for an area of the Underground railway, this could be a part of a line or the entire line, depending how much work is being carried out. Some lines are so busy that a number of Track Access Controllers may be responsible for the same area of the track.
