Abstract

Personal injury accidents in Canadian National Railways locomotive cabs were categorized with respect to the part of the body injured and the physical object with which impact occurred. A small number of categories was found to account for a large proportion of accidents. The data were compared with a previously published study on the same subject. On the basis of the combined findings, recommendations for improving locomotive cab design were made.
