Federal rail safety standards provide a regulatory framework for railroad   companies that owners and operators must obey. The manner in which railroad   companies carry out operations and maintenance has a profound effect on   the safety and welfare of its workers. Lack of proper safety procedures,   equipment maintenance, inspection, training, and record keeping can make   the workplace dangerous for railroad workers. Understanding the Federal Railroad Safety Act of 1970
The Federal Railroad Safety Act (FRSA) was enacted in 1970 for the purpose   of giving regulatory rights to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). Any area of railroad safety falls under the realm of the FRA; they are   responsible for both investigating and prosecuting all railroad issues. Since this law was enacted, the FRA has enacted laws to control factors   such as the maximum weight of rail cars, engineer qualifications, and   safe operating practices. This law also offers protection for railroad employees.
