Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:30 a.m. on January 8, 1995, Employee #1 had been working about an hour on her first day of work at a switching yard. She was working between two rail cars and was required to open the car's knuckles and connect the air hoses. While Employee #1 connected the hoses of two parked rail cars, a third car approached and abruptly hit one of the cars, moving the parked rail cars and causing one of them to run over her right leg. Employee #1's leg was amputated. There were no derails, bumper blocks, or any controls to safeguard the employee. Employee #1 had not been instructed with respect to the hazards unique to the switchyard operation.
