Safety Precautions When Working on Car Tops

• Locate the position and counterweights of the car being accessed, as
well as any other cars/counterweights in the vicinity. Take appropriate
measures to avoid hazards.
• Verify proper operation of the top-of-car inspection operating buttons.
Where outlets are provided, use a grounded, portable light with a suitable,

Safety Precautions Before Entering a Pit
Take appropriate steps to minimize the following hazards and any others
that are identified, such as:
• Locate the position of the car being accessed, as well as any other cars
in the vicinity.
• Before accessing the pit, the car MUST be located high enough to allow
the placement of the pit prop pipe stands to be inserted into the buffers.
• Once the pit is initially accessed, the pit props must be installed and the
oil line shutoff valve closed to prevent car movement.
• Obtain control of the car.
• Identify a refuge space.

formed, Turn OFF, Lockout, and Tagout procedures are required.
