Safety Advocate Briefing for January 12, 2017

All,

First we have added some new files to the Safety Page.  The contract transportation complaint form and the van safety audit and briefing have been added.

If there are any safety issues, please utilize the unsafe condition reporting tool.  This tool will immediately notify members of the Safety Advocate program to be corrected quickly as possible.


This briefing is provided by union volunteers who are not being compensated by the BNSF. We are here to listen, learn and serve.

  1. Cold weather braking. We have had a significant increase in near misses, run thru switches and other issues due to cold weather braking applications. Remember:
    1. Test your brake system before you actually need it.
    2. Set air earlier than usual.
    3. Slow down and take your time coming into restrictions and stops.

New Unsafe Condition Reporting Tool

New Tool Launched!

The Unsafe Condition Reporting Tool has been launched. This tool will allow for reporting unsafe conditions to the union for handling through the Safety Advocate System.

We also ask that you please still utilize the SIRP report process also!

screen-shot-2016-11-17-at-10-30-12As part of launching the new tool, a change to the navigation has taken place.  Hover over the ‘Submit a Report’ and the first item in the dropdown menu is the ‘Unsafe Condition Reporting’

Future features will be coming at a later time, such as upload a picture of the unsafe condition.  At this time if you have a photograph of the unsafe condition you can forward it to safety.advocate@blet104.org

This system will take reports from anybody, weather they are a member of BLET 104 or not.  Please spread the word.

Thank you!
