During the torpedo/ladle railcar transit from the blast furnace to the basic oxygen furnace and back, employee(s), especially train operators, were exposed to the hazards of being struck by falling heat saving covers/lids from the torpedo/ladle railcars in that the homemade covers/lids were not secured during transit. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to ensure that only secured heat saving covers/lids are used.s/lids
