23、ies. (b) This part prescribes minimum Federal safety standards for the rail-road workplace safety subjects ad-dressed herein.

Deceleration device means any mecha-nism, including, but not limited to, rope grabs, ripstitch lanyards, spe-cially woven lanyards, tearing or de-forming lanyards, and

36、automatic self- retracting lifelines/lanyards that serve to dissipate a substantial amount of energy during a fall arrest, or other-wise limit the energy on a person dur-ing fall arrest. Definite train location means a system for establishing on-track safety by pro-viding roadway workers with inform

37、a-tion about the earliest possible time that approaching trains may pass spe-cific locations as prescribed in 214.331 of this part.

46、Free fall distance means the vertical displacement of the fall arrest attach-ment point on a persons body harness between onset of the fall and the point at which the system begins to apply force to arrest the fall.
