Daily inspections will detect and
correct equipment problems before they become the source of an
accident or incident resulting in personal injuries or damage to
property. Further, the publication of the Passenger Door Exterior
Side Door Safety final rule will serve to improve the integrity of
passenger train exterior side door safety systems and promote
passenger train safety overall through new safety standards for the
safe operation and use of passenger train exterior side doors.
Railroad employees will be trained on specified requirements of
this final rule, most notably on how to identify and isolate
malfunctioning exterior powered or manual side doors. Thus, this
final rule will help limit the number and severity of injuries
involving passenger train exterior side doors and enhance the level
of safety for passengers and train crew members.
