Re: How to get fired: report a track defect.

News report is that "OSHA" is involved....since when have they replaced the FRA on rail safety issues?

The last OSHA inspector we encountered was ten years ago when we had a manlift PROPERLY secured to a flatcar trimming trees. He tried to flex his muscles saying this wasn't a railroad operation, that what we were doing was unsafe and that he had the authority to write a citation. I promptly showed him the flatcar wheels on the rails assuring him it WAS a railroad operation, ushered him off the property and threatened to write him a trespassing citation if he returned.

Never heard another word.
