NEW BLET SAFETY PREFORMACE AND SANITATION GUIDES MAILED TO THE MEMBERSHIP TODAY.

Each Member should be receiving a packet of information from the General Committee in our continuing effort to raise the level of professionalism of our craft.  The package will include a laminated Safety Performance Guide which will provide you pocket access to information routinely used in your daily activities as trainmen and engineers.  You will also be receiving a laminated Sanitation Guide (decision matrix) provided by Terry Briggs, the TSLB Chairman.  This guide will break down the complicated FRA regulations regarding sanitation requirements on locomotives.  By answering the questions and following the decision matrix flow chart, you can easily determine if the locomotive you are working on meets the FRA standards for sanitation.  The documents are being mailed to each member via US mail and are also available electronically by clicking on the below links.
