Action Taken on Most Wanted List: NTSB Closes Recommendations on Preventing Rail Worker Fatalities

Excerpt:  “The National Transportation Safety Board has closed recommendations to reduce rail worker fatalities, one of 10 issues on the NTSB’s Most Wanted List of Safety Improvements for 2021-2022. The closed recommendations are related to the deaths of two railway workers struck and killed by a Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) train on January 26, 2010. … At any given time, the NTSB has more than 1,100 open, unimplemented safety recommendations that, when implemented, will improve safety for all who use the nation’s transportation system.”
