APPROACH TO SAFETY


At Amtrac Railroad Contractors of Maryland, Inc., worker safety is our top priority. We foster a strong culture of safety that extends beyond the job site and into our everyday lives. Our commitment is demonstrated through regular, comprehensive training in areas such as:
-
Track safety
-
Equipment handling
-
Emergency procedures
-
Job hazard analysis
These proactive measures are essential in preventing accidents and protecting our workforce.
We are proud of our outstanding safety record, as reflected in our industry-standard metrics. However, we recognize that railroad construction and rehabilitation remain a high-risk industry. That’s why we emphasize safe work habits every single day, aiming to eliminate every preventable incident.
As a company governed by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), all employees complete required training for On-Track Safety and Roadway Worker Protection. This ensures that our teams are fully equipped to operate safely and responsibly in all phases of work.
At Amtrac, we believe clear communication from top to bottom is critical. Effective communication isn’t just beneficial, it’s essential for coordinating work, identifying hazards, and most importantly, ensuring every worker goes home safely at the end of the day.
Safety isn’t just a requirement, it’s our way of life.
