Amtrak must run a rail safety program for employees on its own property. It works with rail labor unions and must serve as a model for other railroads. The program must regularly analyze accidents, evaluate its steps, and report costs and injury reductions.
Amtrak must maintain a rail safety system program for employees who work on Amtrak-owned property, developed in consultation with rail labor unions. Other rail carriers are meant to use this program as a model when building their own safety programs. The program must include:
(1) regular analysis of accident information, including the main and secondary causes;
(2) regular review of the program's activities, especially the specific steps taken after an accident;
(3) regular reports on how much money is spent on occupational health and safety activities;
(4) regular reports on costs and injuries avoided because of accident-prevention efforts;
(5) regular reports on the direct costs of accidents, including related claims; and
(6) any other reports or evaluations Amtrak thinks are worth including.
In consultation with rail labor organizations, Amtrak shall maintain a rail safety system program for employees working on property owned by Amtrak. The program shall be a model for other rail carriers to use in developing safety programs. The program shall include—
periodic analyses of accident information, including primary and secondary causes;
periodic evaluations of the activities of the program, particularly specific steps taken in response to an accident;
periodic reports on amounts spent for occupational health and safety activities of the program;
periodic reports on reduced costs and personal injuries because of accident prevention activities of the program;
periodic reports on direct accident costs, including claims related to accidents; and
reports and evaluations of other information Amtrak considers appropriate.
