be well
rested at
the start
of the
day.

no open
toe
shoes.
Restricted speed: Always be able to stop
your car

Additional Items to keep in mind:
Always be on
the alert
for moving
equipment
while
working
near any
Railroad
tracks
or
facilities.
Do
not step
or walk on
the top of
the rail,
frog,
switches,
guardrails,
or
other
track
components.
In
passing
around
ends of
standing
cars,
engines,
railroad
machinery,
and
other
on-track
equipment,
leave at
least one
railcar
length
(50
feet)
between
yourself
and the
end of the
equipment.
Avoid
walking or
standing
on track
at any
time.
When
it is
necessary
to walk or
work on
track,
always
keep
a sharp
lookout in
both
directions
for
approaching
trains.
Before
stepping
or
crossing
tracks,
look in
both
directions
first.
The
same is
true
when
walking
around
machinery
and
equipment
on
and
about
the
tracks.
Do
not sit
on, lie
under, or
cross
between
cars
except as
required
in
performance
of your
duty and
only when
track and
equipment
are
under
proper
protection.
In
multiple
track
territory,
do not
stand on
one track
while a
train
is
passing
on
another.
Always
expect
movement
at any
time, on
any track,
in either
direction.
Always
keep in
mind that
a split
second of
inattention
can
result in
a serious
accident. |
