Title: Locomotive Cab Working Conditions
Abstract: The agency has proposed to address crew working conditions on locomotives, pursuant to the Rail Safety Enforcement and Review Act (1992). FRA investigated a variety of locomotive working conditions, including sanitation, noise and temperature, and reported its findings to Congress. On October 31, 1996, the Railroad Safety Advisory Committee (RSAC) accepted a preliminary planning task to schedule handling of these issues, and established the Locomotive Crew Safety Working Group. The Working Group prepared recommendations addressing sanitation in locomotive cabs. The Working Group presented RSAC with these recommendations and the full RSAC voted to refer them to FRA as the basis for a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM). FRA used these recommendations as the basis for an NPRM, which was published January 2, 2001.
