Employ Critical Safety Measures
Workers frequently need to board flatbed trailers or railcars to secure the cargo, or to remove tarps and other securing items before unloading.
Without adequate fall protection, they are at risk of serious injury or death in the event of a misstep or other accident.
As an example, for trains on routes electrified with overhead lines, the pantograph, or “pan” on the locomotive roof is held up with compressed air pressure.
