Employ Critical Safety Measures
In order to secure the goods, workers frequently need to board railcars or flatbed trailers, or they may need to take off tarps and other securing materials before offloading.
In the case of a slip or other accident, they run the risk of suffering major injuries or perhaps passing away without sufficient fall protection.
For instance, for trains on routes electrified with overhead lines, the pantograph, or “pan” on the locomotive roof is held up with compressed air pressure.
