| Abstract |
"Safety critical work" is defined as any work by railway personnel (drivers, guards, conductors, signalmen, repair and maintenance workers, supervisors, etc.) who in any way control or affect the movement of vehicles, or who work on the rails, signals, electric wires, the coupling of vehicles or vehicle maintenance, thereby affecting the health or safety of persons on a transport system. The regulations require employers to make sure that the workers doing such work are competent and fit to do so, that they carry suitable identification, and that they do not work such long hours that their fatigue might endanger safety. |
