Safety Rule of the Month

“If it is raining, snowing, or icy, or if your shoes are wet, or if there is grease on the soles of your shoes and you step on a rail, you may slip and fall. Remember, it is safer to step over rails than on them at any time.”

Rule #3, Universal Safety Manual for All Railroad Employees. A.H. Cogswell: Gary, IN, 1948.
