Docket No. FRA-2001-10426
Abstract
FRA is amending regulations on Railroad Workplace Safety to eliminate a provision which could present undue hazards to persons, and to eliminate possible confusion regarding the use of various terms in the rule text. In particular, FRA is prohibiting the use of body belts as permissible components of personal fall arrest systems, and is revising references to railroad bridge workers as "employees" to eliminate potential confusion in determining the group of people to which the Bridge Worker Safety Standards apply.
