Railroad Workplace Safety (Formerly titled: Roadway Worker Protection: Roadway Maintenance Machines)

The information collected is used by railroad workers to improve roadway worker safety and prevent accidents/incidents caused by the operation of on-track roadway maintenance machines. Form FRA F 6180.119 is used by FRA/State inspectors to cite rule violations of Part 214 and to recommend civil penalties for serious infractions. On June 10, 2016, FRA amended its Roadway Worker Protection (RWP) regulation to resolve interpretative issues that have arisen since the 1996 promulgation of that rule. In particular, this final rule adopted certain terms, resolved miscellaneous interpretive issues, codified certain FRA Technical Bulletins, adopted new requirements governing redundant signal protections and the movement of roadway maintenance machinery over signalized non-controlled track, and amended certain qualification requirements for roadway workers. See 81 FR 37840.
