TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Review of walking hazards for railroad workers JO - Work A1 - Andres, Robert O. A1 - Wade, Chip SP - 3367 EP - 3371 VL - 41 IS - N2 - This is a review of walking tasks in the railroad environment, and the injuries that result from slips, trips, falls, or other acute or even non-traumatic exposures. The lack of federal regulations for railroad walkways has led several states to develop and enforce their own regulations. Support from the research literature for such regulations has come from biomechanical studies of the effects of walking on railroad ballast, which will be reviewed.
