To OincxBs m C^4iii«» OF Baii^wat AocmdBNT Bbposts: This issue of the Rules governing Monthly Reports of Railway Ac- cidents is intended to insure a more uniform classification of acci- dents. The revision was made with the cooperation of a committee representing the American Railway Association. The recommenda- tions of tiiftt canmittee as well as of various officials who submitted comments on a tentative draft of the rules issued May 3^1918, have bem earefnlty considered and iA nearly all cases adopted. Hiese Rules have to do simply with the monthly reports to tiie Bureau of Statistics and do not contain the requirements regarding reports to the Bureau of Safety and the Bureau of Locomotive Inspection, for copies of which application should be made to those bureaus.

Operatioii of a Eailway. — ^The operation of a railway," as the phrase is used herein, included — The operation of trains, locomotives, and cars and the facili- ties incidental to their operation, such as railway stations, depots, freight houses, warehouses, shops, coaling stations^ ferries used as an adjunct of train service, etc. • The maintenance of equipment, roadway, track, buildings, and other parte of railway plant, when such maintenance is performed under the supervision of the carrier by its employees; and The construction of additions, betterments, and new lines when performed under the supervision of the carrier by its regular forces of employees ordinarily engaged in the con- struction, operation, or maintenance of existing lines. 2. Accidents to be Beported. — An accident is to be reported only when it arises from the <^ration of a railway and results in — Damage to railway property amounting to more than $150, including the expense of clearing wreck, but not the loss of or damage to freight or baggage, animals, or property of noncarriers on or adjacent to right of way; or a — Casualty causing the death of a person within 24 hours after the accident; or an — Injury to an employee sufficient to incapacitate the injured person from performing his ordinary dudes ^r more than three days in the aggregate during the 10 days immediately following the accident.

Doubtful Cases. — ^Whenever any person declares that he has been injured in' a railway accident and the carrier involved denies the allegation, the injury alleged, if of a reportable class, should be reported, but should be designated "claimed but not admitted by euriw," or otherwise, as may be appropriate. Any person found iead on w adjaoont to the ptmoBOB or ri|^t of way of a carrier j^ould, unless excluded by the provisions of sedicm 5, be reported if the verdict of a coroner is in effect that sudi person's death resulted from the operation of its railway. 4. Joint Operations. — Train accidents occurring on terminal or other track operated jointly or in common by two or more reporting carriers should be severally reported by the carrier or carriers whose equipment or ^plpyees are involved and the carrier whose super- Intend^t is in immediate charge of the track qn which the accident liccnrs. Each carrier ccmcemed in such an acddent should report only the damage to its own train (including foreign cars) or other property owned and the casualties to its own passengers or employees, but casualties to all trespassers and other persons not passengers or employees should be reported by each carrier. All reports of train acddents of the kind indicated should bear conspicuously at the top the words ^ Joint Operation." Note A.— An accident in which no casualty occurs and in which the total damage sustained by the carriers Is not more than $150 sboiild not be reported. Note B— If an accident occurs on a priyate iriding or tra<^ of like diaraeter, it should be reported by tbe carrier liaTlng p oincBrion of tlie locomotive con- cerned or employing the penmis taiv«l"fed.

Accidents Not to be Reported. — ^No accident is to be reported nnkss it arises from the operation of a railway and causes either a i^>ortable casualty or damage exceeding $150 to railway property (including the cost of clearing wreck). Under the class- of nonre- portable accidents will come, lor example, casoaldes caused by frightened animals and accidents to persons jumping from vehicles without coming in contact with rail way. equipment; injuries caused by stones or other missiles thrown by persons on or along the right of way; injuries to persons other than trainmen on duty resulting fitMn assaults by passengeors and other pmons not railway employees; injuries received by draymen and other laborers, not railway em- ployees, while loading or indoft&ig freight at and freight- house platforms or at cars; as well as injuries received by passengers, trespassers, or other persons, if no defective or moving railway equip- ment or no negligence, mistake, or misconduct of railway employees is invdved, provided such accidents are not of a class falling under the provisims of the rules for train-service or nontrain accidents. (See iocs. IS and 14.) MOHtm^T BlPOSaS 09 miLWAT ibCX^^ 11 6. Primary Groups aid Their lefinitioiis. — ^Railway accidents are divided into three primary groups : (jj^roup I. — ^Train accidents. Group n. — ^Train-service accidents. Group III. — Nontrain accidents. Group I — Tram Accidents. — This group includes accidents arising in connection with the operation of trains, locomotives, or cars that risnlt in damage to equipm^ or other railway fwop^r^. NoTB. — Accidents due to defects in minor parts of equipment, such as hand- holds^ which result in a casualty but in no damage to railway property other than the loss of the defective part, sdiould be classified as train-service aod- . dents, and not as train accidents. Group 1 1— Train-service Accidents. — This group includes accidents arising in connection with the operation of trains, locomotives, or cars that mult in casualties to pmcms, but not in damage to equip- ment or other railway property. Orcwp III— Nontrain Aeddente.—TMs group includes accidents connected with the operation of a railway that are not incidental to the operation of trains, locomotives, or cars. Accidents in connection with the operation of vessels are con- sidered nontrain accidents, and resulting casualties are reportable when the vessels are operated as an adjvmct to train service. QROJTB I. — ^TEAnr A0GESEVT8. 7. Classification of Train Accidents.— Train accidents should be classified under the following heads: Collisions (Class C). Derailments (Glass D). Ixxxnnotive-boiler accidents (Class B). Other locomotive accidents or failures (not resulting in a col- lision, derailment, or boiler accident) (Class L). Miscellaneous train accidents (Class M). If a single accident is classifiable under two or more of the §mego» Ing heads it dM>uld be dasrafied in accordance with its primary class. S. CoOiiioiis (Caw C).— A coUislon is a violent impact of a train, locomotive, or car with some other train, locomotive, or car while both are on rails. (Accidents caused by trains, etc., striking hand cars, section motor cars, and like roadway machines are not classifiable as collisions.) Reports of collisions, in addition to furnishing the information required by sec^oiis icrf ttwse rules having gmml applicaliony dhouM . 12 IHTEBSTATE COMMSBCB QOMMSSBIOV. describe briefly the method of operati0BTS Of SAU^WAY ACCIDENTS. 21 FOBM AND AEEANGEMENT OF EEPOETS. 15. Forms ITsed and Duplicate Beporta.^Monthly reports of rail- way accidents (including rail failures causing train accidents) should be made on forms provided by the Interstate Commerce Commission or on forms identical therewith in arrangement, size, and in color and weight of paper, and every reporting carrier is required to retain in its files a duplicate of each report rendered to the commission. The forms provided, which are of four kinds, are designated as Forms V, T, E, and F. Each sheet of each report should show in the appropriate place the name of the company for which it is filed, the month and year to which the report relates, together with all other particulars called for by the form. Each sheet of each report following Form V should hear the autograph signature, of a responsible officer or employee. 16. Fom y (Yeriileation). — report should be made on tbds form each month even though no reportable accident occurred during the month covered. Such report should include an oath or verification made by the proper officer of the reporting carrier as provided on Form V for that purpose which should show the number of accidents (exclusive of nontrain) that occurred during the month for which the r^ort is made, and the number of sheets attached to the Form V. If no reportable accid^t occurred during tiie month, that fact should be stated on this form. Form V should also show the total number of locomotive-miles and train-miles run during the month, computed in accordance with the Interstate Commerce Commission's Classifica- tion of Train-miles, Locomotive-miles, and Car-miles, and (except for carriers having annual operating revenues below $100,000) the number of man-hours of industrial employees as provided in the imsi^ even tkoui^ no accident occurred. If my reportable nontrain acddents occurred during the month, they should be reported in the table provided on Form V, but if none occurred, that fact should be stated in the table. 17. Form T (Train and Train-Service Accidents). — A separate Form T sheet should be used for each reportable train accident or train-service accident and^ould show the required particulars con- oenung the accident. . 18. lura It (Bail Faikies). — In case of accidents resulting from rail failures, particulars of the failures should be reported on Form R, and all the information called for on that form should be fur- nished or proper explanation made regarding its absence. 19, Form F (Subsequent Fatalities). — If, as the result of an injury, a person dies more than 24 hours after the occurrence of the accident, the casualty should be reported on a Form T as an injury, and in addition, a memorandmn of the death should be given on Form F IKTEBSXATE GOMMEBCE COMMISSION. in accordance with the requirements of that form. This additional report is to be made in connection with the report for the month in which the accident occurred, if practicable, otherwise it should sepa- rately accompany the first HMmthly report filed after the death has eome to the knowledge of the carrier. A single Form F may contain reports of more than one soch fatality, provided all persons induded therein were injured during the same month. 20. Classification Symbols. — Symbols indicating the class of train accidents or of train-service accidents and the class of persons in- volved should be entered in the appropriate ^aces on Form T as follows : Ohm of dceidents. — Sheets carrying reports of collisions are to be marleed C; those relating to derailmentiB, D; those relating to loco- molive-boller acddents, B: Hiofle relatiiDg to odior kcoinotive acei* dents (not resulting in collisions or derailments), L; those relating to miscellaneous train accidents, M; and those relating to train- service accidents, S. To each of these primary class symbols should be added the proper small letter to indicate the subclass covering the accident. (See sees. 8 to IS.) appMcabie capital l^ter pieoeding the name of the dass, to which should be added the small letter or the number symbol preceding the applicable subdivision, indicating: the subclass. (See sec. 31.) 21. Arrangement and Numbering of Sheets. — All the forms in a monthly report should be arranged in the order V, T, R, and F. All Forms T should be further grouped in accordance with the character of the acdd^ts and arranged in the order C, D, B, L, M, and 8. and snhgrouped in odfor by sc^lasses; as, for mm^^ first all of C-a, followed by aU of C-b, followed in torn by afl of C-c, ete., throughout the series. All sheets following Form V are to be nmn- bered consecutively, beginning with No. 1 each month. When prop- erly arranged and numbered, all sheets, including Form V, should be securely fastened along the left-hand two-thirds of the top edges. In no case should the report for any month include a Form T sheet oomi^fliffid for an aoeident that did mk oeeur dnring the month cov- ered hj the report Shoidd it be discovmd bgr a carrlear that the report of a particnlar acddent on a Fmn T has, through mislafee or otherwise, been improperly omitted from its regular monthly accident report, the sheet covering such accident should be separately transmitted to the Bureau of Statistics, with a suitable letter of explanatip^y of the company making tbe report. ^ Inidetmnining die amount of damage to railway property (includ- ing damage to foreign cars) the cost of clearing wreck should be included, but not any amount because of damage to freight or bag- gage, stock on right of way, or to other property of noncarriers, or because of personal injuries. The amount reported should be sub- divided so as to show damage to equipment, to other railway prop- erty, and cost of clearing wreck. If tiie mnount of damage is not IKTIBSTATIS OOMMBBCE COlCMHffilOK. Imown at the time the report is filed with the ccHnmissdon, it should be estimated as accurately as practicable, and the fact that it is esti- mated should be stated. 30. Casualties — Classification and Particulars. — Classification. — In reporting casualties to persons the following distinctions should be observed: Muled.— Any person killed in an accident at the time of its occur- raice, or so seriously injured as to die within 24 hours tibiereafter, should be reported as ^* killed," Note. — See section 19 for instructions relative to injuries that subsequently result in death. Injured. — Employees so seriously injured as to be incapacitated from performing their ordinary duties for more than d days, in the aggregate, during the 10 days immediatdy following the accident, should be reported as injured. This rule applies both to employees on duty and to those classed as not on duty, but does not apply to employees classed as passengers or trespassers. Other persons should be reported as injured if the injury is suili- cient, in the opinion of the reporting officer, to incapacitate the in- jured person from f<^owing his customary Tocation or mode (d life for a period of wame than cme day. TMa rule applies also to em- ployees classed as passengers or trespassers. Particulars. — Personal injuries should be sufficiently described to indicate — The part of body injured and the specific nature and extent of the injury received (which should be reported in sufficient detail to enable the Interstate Commeree Commission to classify the injury in acccnrdance with the code on page 49) . The actual number of days of disablement if ascertained at the • time the report is made and, if the disability has not teriri- nated by that time or is not ascertainable, an estimate of the number should be shown in the appropriate column on Form T, or the absence of an estimate fully explained. The degree to which the persoQ is maimed, if at all« Hom-^Wlien tbe injury is of a pemanent nature tliat fact may be stated In Ilea of the nnmber of days* disability. The following are to be classified as permanent injuries: Loss of any member or part of a member, either at the time of the accident or later, through amputation caused or neces- sitated by the necident Orippling or maiming of a member, oth^ than by the loss of a part. Permanent internal injury. MOKmtT BEPOBTS OF BAILWAY ACCIDENTS. 29 In case of any permanent injury to arm or hand, it should be stated . whether right or left arm or hand and whether the injured person is right-handed or left-handed. In case of loss of any part, the extent should be indicated, as, for example, tip of index finger on right hand, two middle fingers to seopnd joint on left hand, left ann to elbow, loss of right eye, etc. CI4$l^CAXI0JBr OF PEJISONS. 31. Classification. — For the purpose of monthly reports, persons involved in railwav accidents other than nontrain accidents should be named and sufficient particulars of each person should be given to permit an appropriate classification among the following classes: (A) Employees on duty. — ^An employee should be considered on , duty when he is, at the request or direction of the carrier, rendering service or holding himself in readiness at his post of duty. 4M| not to be considered on duty while relieved from service and from iH sponsibility for the performance of service, or while willfully and improperly absent from his post of duty. The classification of em- ployees on duty is to be determined by the character of the work on which they are engaged, or to which they may be detailed, at the time of the accident. If this is different from that of their usual and customary duties, particulars should be given. If any person killed or injured in an accident is known or believed to be an employee of another carrier that fact should be stated and appropriate class symbols indicating the customary occupation of the employee, with the name of the carrier by which he is employed, should be entered, i (B) Employees not on duty. — This class is restricted io employe lawfully on the premises of the carrier. Whenever an employee not on duty is injured, the report should explain the occasion of the em- ployee's presence at the place of the accident. Employees trespass- ing should be included in Class (F) as trespassers. Employees (in- cluding those deadheading) riding as passengers should be included in Class (C) as passengers. The classes of employees included in the following list are defined in the commission's rules governing the Classification of Steam Rail- way Employees and returns should be made in conformity with them. For each employee reported on Form T there should be shown the proper numeral to indicate the appropriate class for the employee and also the letter (A) or (B) to indicate respectively whether he was on or off duty. The following synopsis is taken from the aboye-mienti^med classi- fication: (1) General officers, $3,000 per annum and upward. (2) General officers, below $3,000 per annum.
