| 2016-28558 | Identification and Mitigation of Hazards Through Job Safety Briefings and Hazard Recognition Strategies | Notice | FRA is issuing Safety Advisory 2016-02 out of concern for the number of railroad and railroad contractor fatalities that occur when roadway workers perform certain activities that fall outside the scope of FRA's safety regulations, but within the purview of the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) regulations. FRA is issuing this Safety Advisory to remind railroads and railroad contractors, and their employees (including roadway workers) of the importance of identifying hazardous conditions at job locations, conducting thorough job safety briefings to discuss the hazardous conditions, and taking appropriate actions to mitigate those conditions. This Safety Advisory reminds railroads, railroad contractors, and their respective employees that OSHA's job safety regulations may apply to certain roadway worker activities and makes recommendations for hazard recognition strategies and challenge procedures that could improve roadway worker safety while roadway workers are engaged in activities subject to OSHA's regulations. FRA considers this Safety Advisory responsive to the National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB) Recommendations R-14-33, R-14-35, and R-14-36. | 2016-11-28 | 2016 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/11/28/2016-28558/identification-and-mitigation-of-hazards-through-job-safety-briefings-and-hazard-recognition | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-11-28/pdf/2016-28558.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Railroad Administration | 492,185 | FRA is issuing Safety Advisory 2016-02 out of concern for the number of railroad and railroad contractor fatalities that occur when roadway workers perform certain activities that fall outside the scope of FRA's safety regulations, but within the... |
