III  SAFETY ACTION PLANS (FOPS)

Yard Orientation – New Hires

Safety Rules and Safe Work Procedures rollout

Site Inspection – Salmon Arm station / yard.  No slip/trip hazards.  Both sand boxes around station had garbage in them.  Questions about track and switches in the yard.  Concern about the dwarf hand throw switch at x-over between siding and back track – feel it is not ergonomically sound.  Is there still a need for a crossover between the siding and backtrack?  Hand x-overs always seem to increase potential for run thru switches and derailments.  Would like to discuss need for derails in the backtrack.  Question as to why the west x-over switch in the back track does not have a big lock on it as it connects to a signalled siding.

SOFA Audit – 11 Safe and 1 At Risk observations.

 

 

 

IV               Review 2005 Safety Framework Plan    (to be determined)
