Safety Team The UTU
Transportation Safety Team is comprised of eleven members of the UTU,
each of whom is on call 24 hours a day to assist in determining
the facts in rail-related accidents.
The team members are selected
by the UTU International President based upon their knowledge of
operating rules and understanding of general railroad
operations, train movements and dispatching.
When a rail accident occurs,
TST Coordinator J.R. Cumby immediately assigns one or more TST
members, who immediately depart for the scene. Cumby also
notifies the UTU general chairpersons in the region and the
respective state legislative director, as well the National
Transportation Safety Board.
TST members assist the NTSB in
ascertaining factual data relating to the accident. For more
information about the work of the TST, read this
January 2005 article from the UTU News.
To contact members of the TST,
see the listing below.
