CCTV on the rail network has captured near-misses and examples of inattention near oncoming trains.
In one shocking video, a distracted commuter stumbled over the yellow line before he fell off the platform and onto the track.
While the train managed to stop in time, incidents such as this have prompted a warning from Metro Trains.
“Don’t take risks around the rail network, be safe,” CEO Raymond O’Flaherty said.
CCTV captured another incident at the Prahran Station level crossing where a pedestrian bypassed the boom games, waited for the train pass, and then walked to the other side.
More than half of those resulted in injuries and trespassing was the most common safety risk.
Every mishap has the potential to cripple the entire network and potentially affect about 50,000 commuters.
Safety concerns also arise when commuters are rushing to get the train.
One woman had a misstep and fell in a rush to catch a city train.
She became wedged in the gap between the platform and the train but fortunately she was pulled to safety by safety workers
Station delivery manager Chloe Smith said railway workers “see a lot of injuries that are absolutely avoidable.”
“We have more services than we’ve ever had before – so if you don’t catch that train, please don’t run for it,” Smith said.
“There will be another one coming really soon.”
The vision has been released as part of Rail Safety Week, as a part of a range of measures to try and curb dangerous behaviour.
In addition to this, the government is building extra safety fencing to prevent trespassing.
Public transport, roads and road safety minister Ben Carroll urged commuters to be careful.
“Catch the trains safely, be mindful of others,” Carroll said.
