This book was released on 2004 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this paper is to consider if a standard should be created in NSW covering train emergency evacuation procedures, door egress and access and associated equipment. The purpose of this standard would be to improve the emergency response capability of rail operators within the state. This standard would apply to all passenger carrying trains operating within NSW. This paper considers whether the new standard should encompass the ability of passengers to self-evacuate (escape) if the situation should be serious enough to warrant it and includes a review of the door security policy currently adopted by RailCorp" -- Introduction.

Download or read book Passenger Train Emergency Preparedness Us Federal Railroad Administration Regulation Fra 2018 Edition written by The Law The Law Library and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-09-21 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Passenger Train Emergency Preparedness (US Federal Railroad Administration Regulation) (FRA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Passenger Train Emergency Preparedness (US Federal Railroad Administration Regulation) (FRA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 FRA is amending its existing regulation entitled Passenger Train Emergency Preparedness by revising or clarifying various provisions. The final rule clarifies that railroad personnel who communicate or coordinate with first responders during emergency situations must receive certain initial and periodic training and be subject to operational tests and inspections related to the railroad's emergency preparedness plan. The final rule also clarifies that railroads must develop procedures in their emergency preparedness plans that specifically address the safety of passengers with disabilities during actual and simulated emergency situations, such as during train evacuations. The rule also limits the need for FRA to formally approve certain purely administrative changes to approved emergency preparedness plans. In addition, the final rule requires that operational tests and inspections be conducted in accordance with a program that meets certain minimum requirements. Finally, the rule removes as unnecessary the provision discussing the preemptive effect of the regulations. This book contains: - The complete text of the Passenger Train Emergency Preparedness (US Federal Railroad Administration Regulation) (FRA) (2018 Edition) - A table of contents with the page number of each section

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Railroad yards, unlike mainline railroad operations, are similar to fixed-site chemical and industrial plants in terms of operating procedures, populations at risk, and emergency response preparedness capabilities. Like the fixed-site chemical and industrial plants, railroad yards are permanent facilities located within the boundaries of communities and close to schools, hospitals, businesses, apartments and housing complexes. To solicit comments and potential solutions to this problem from the railroad industry; involved communities; local emergency response organizations; and local, State, and Federal governments, on July 26 and 27, 1983, the Safety Board convened a public hearing in Arlington, Virginia. Twenty-three witnesses representing these entities were brought together to identify means for minimizing the potential for catastrophic releases of hazardous materials in railroad yards and to discuss the preparedness of communities and railroad yard operators for handling such emergencies. The hearing revealed that intricate parts of the problem were the hazardous materials classification system, the packaging safeguards required for tank cars used to transport various hazardous materials, the safety of operations within railroad yards, and their relationship to the ability of yard operations and adjacent communities to protect the safety and health of employees and the public during a hazardous materials emergency. Witness testimony revealed that these areas are so intertwined that safety deficiencies in one area can negate efforts to assure safety in one of the other areas. Clearly, any solution to the problems of hazardous materials releases in railroad yards must be derived through government, industry, and community cooperation.
