Rail Safety Starts with Training- And It's More Than Just Onboarding

Initial training is a great start — but it’s not enough. If your team isn’t getting regular refreshers, you’re leaving major safety as well as compliance risks on the table.

Here’s how to stay ahead:


Common Training Gaps Nationwide

  • Employees unsure of FRA track classifications

  • Switching procedures not followed consistently

  • Outdated hazmat handling knowledge

  • Supervisors unaware of current documentation requirements

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — but it’s time to fix it.


FRA’s Stance

Annual training is the minimum — but most incidents we see come from poor retention and outdated knowledge. The FRA expects you to keep your crew trained and ready year-round.
