This report presents the methods, findings and recommendations from a multi-year research program that examined worker safety issues in railroad yards. The research program focused on human factor-related hazards and solutions to railroad yard worker safety. A broad range of issues were examined, including: safety culture; training; communications; labor-management relations; work schedules; injury reporting procedures; and Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)-railroad relations. The research program's technical approach combined quantitative data analyses with qualitative research methods. Existing FRA injury and accident data were analyzed to provide statistical insights into national injury and accident demographics.
