Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 18, September 16, 2024

PURPOSE: This amendment moves the rule from Title 4 to Title 7 and removes a reference to Senate Bill No. 676 in the purpose statement because parts of SB 676 are no longer in effect.

PURPOSE: This rule implements the provisions of section 389.920, RSMo, which authorizes the division to prescribe requirements for first-aid kits to be provided and maintained on certain railroad equipment by owners and operators of railroads in this state.

Every railroad shall provide and maintain a commercially prepared first-aid kit in a plainly marked accessible location on all passenger train cars, cabooses, each locomotive unit capable of independent operation and all motorized on-track work equipment used in railroad operations which weigh in excess of four hundred pounds (400 lbs.). A conforming first-aid kit may be assigned to the custody of a designated member of the train or work crew required to work on the equipment when the equipment is in use. The chief medical officer for each railroad shall determine the contents and the size of the kit to conform to the type of job and the specific treatment which may be needed. In addition, the kit shall adequately serve the usual number of employees needed to be treated by the kit at that location.
