Locomotive Shop Access Hazard

Learn how we remedied an access hazard in a locomotive shop.

Situation

  • Access to the tops of the rail cars was difficult and ineffective 
  • The location needed a fixed system that would not impede normal operations
  • Lack of mobility hindered continuous movement and repairs 

Action

  • Performed site assessment to understand customer needs 
  • Installed two swing arms so that workers could travel the length of the shop without obstacles 
  • Provided timely, expert installation and training 

Result

  • Eliminated fall hazards with the use of new overhead swing arms 
  • Increased efficiency of operations by providing workers with safe, continuous movement 
  • Met OSHA and ANSI regulations for compliance
