Alaska Railroad Safety Vision

We believe every accident or injury is preventable, and we believe the ARRC is capable of operating free of accidents and injuries.

The ARRC will achieve this vision through:

• A culture that makes the safety of our employees, customers, and communities our highest priority, that sets rigorous standards for safety excellence, and that is open to vigorous self-assessment of our progress and effectiveness
• A work environment where all known hazards will be eliminated or safeguarded, and where employees expect to be safe and accident-free
• Training and education for all employees that make safe production the core of every task we perform
• A workforce made up of people who take responsibility for their personal safety, the safety of their fellow employees, and the communities we serve
• Shared values that emphasize equal respect and opportunity for all ARRC employees

The theme for ARRC Safety in 2005 is "DO IT!"
D - Define the targeted activities or conditions
O - Observe and manage the targeted activities and conditions
I - Intervene to improve results
T - Test the impact of the interventions through follow-up
