SOFA Audits: Safe
Observations, At-risk observations, SOFA Audit Summary For 2007:
The basic concept of communication, or its lack of, has been attributed
to the cause of many Accidents & incidents
across the property last year. The key is that we must not assume the
other members of our crew know what we are
going to do; we must talk about it constantly so we are all sure everyone
else is on the same page as us.

Item
5 – RCLS SOFA Audit Addendum –
For 2007, Toronto Yard Joint H&S Committee will commence use of an
RCLS SOFA AUDIT addendum an effort to capture and document RCLS operations
since most of the yard operations at Toronto Yard are RCLS.
The
purposes of this RCLS tracking sheet are for easy cross reference to identify
on the areas of concern that the Toronto Yard Health and Safety Committee may
have to address the unique problems in regards to RCLS Operations.
