Abstract: Section 20139 of Title 49 of 

the United States Code required FRA to 

issue rules, regulations, orders, and 

standards for the safety of maintenanceof-way employees on railroad bridges, 

including for ‘‘bridge safety equipment’’ 

such as nets, walkways, handrails, and 

safety lines, and requirements for the 

use of vessels when work is performed 

on bridges located over bodies of water. 

FRA has added 49 CFR Part 214 to 

establish minimum workplace safety 

standards for railroad employees as they 

apply to railroad bridges. Specifically, 

section 214.15(c) establishes standards 

and practices for safety net systems. 

Safety nets and net installations are to 

be drop-tested at the job site after initial 

installation and before being used as a 

fall-protection system; after major 

repairs; and at six-month intervals if left 

at one site. If a drop-test is not feasible 

and is not performed, then a written 

certification must be made by the 

railroad or railroad contractor, or a 

designated certified person, that the net 

does comply with the safety standards 

of this section. FRA and State inspectors 

use the information to enforce Federal 

regulations. The information that is 

maintained at the job site promotes safe 

bridge worker practices.
