| 摘要： | This report presents the results of an exploratory study of railroad yardmasters. The purpose was to identify issues and risks associated with yardmaster tasks and responsibilities that have the potential to compromise safety in railroad classification (switching) yards. Analysis of 2004 Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) train accident and incident data helped to determine the involvement of yardmasters in train accidents and injuries, and focus groups with yardmasters provided information about yardmaster tasks and responsibilities and the yardmasters role in yard switching safety. Analysis of FRA train accident/incident data indicates that yardmasters contributed to less than one-fifth of 1 percent of reportable train accidents (7 out of 3,775) and one-fifth of 1 percent of all employee-on-duty injuries (13 out of 5,693). Fifty-six yardmasters participated in nine focus groups conducted in three U.S. cities. Focus groups addressed five topic groupings: training and experience; communications and information flow; stress, distractions, difficulties, and workload; fatigue, staffing, and work schedules; and best practices and lessons learned. / NOTE: Final rept.
