How often must RWP training be conducted for workers?

RWP training for workers must be conducted at least once every three years to ensure that all employees are up-to-date with the latest safety practices, regulations, and knowledge necessary to work safely on or near the railway. This regular training schedule helps reinforce essential skills and safety awareness, accommodating any changes in practices or regulations that may have occurred since the last training session. Additionally, it supports maintaining a culture of safety among workers, which is critical for reducing accidents and injuries. This frequency reflects the importance of consistently reminding workers about their responsibilities and updating them on best practices in roadway worker protection. Other intervals, such as annually, every five years, or only when new personnel are onboarded, would not adequately address the ongoing need for current safety education in a dynamic working environment like that of roadway maintenance and operations.
