Recommendation 044/99

Rail

Amend existing code instructions and training procedures for the operation of remote control locomotives to ensure they include:
• a definition of what constitutes "adequate" when describing "range of vision" with particular regard to speed and the need to stop in a distance related to the clear distance seen ahead.
• unambiguous guidelines as to the best position for operators on the leading vehicle, taking account of curved track and limitations imposed by positioning themselves on the trailing end.
