1、440 49 CFR Ch. II (10110 Edition) Pt. 229 for sleeping purposes. Except where parti-tions are provided, such beds or similar fa-cilities should be spaced not closer than 36 inches laterally (except in modular units which cannot be spaced closer than 30 inches) and 30 inches end to end, and should be

2、 elevated at least 12 inches from the floor. If double-deck bunks are used, they should be spaced not less than 48 inches both lat-erally and end to end. The minimum clear space between the lower and upper bunk should be not less than 27 inches. Triple-deck bunks should not be used. (e) Floors shoul

3、d be of smooth and tight construction and should be kept in good re-pair. (f) All living quarters should be provided with windows the total of which should be not less than 10 percent of the floor area. At least one-half of each window designed to be opened should be so constructed that it can be op

4、ened for purposes of ventilation. Dura-ble opaque window coverings should be pro-vided to reduce the entrance of light during sleeping hours. (g) All exterior openings should be effec-tively screened with 16-mesh material. All screen doors should be equipped with self- closing devices. (h) In a faci

5、lity where workers cook, live, and sleep, a minimum of 90 square feet per person should be provided. Sanitary facili-ties should be provided for storing and pre-paring food. (i) In camp cars where meals are provided, adequate facilities to feed employees within a 60-minute period should be provided.

6、 (j) All heating, cooking, ventilation, air conditioning and water heating equipment should be installed in accordance with appli-cable local regulations governing such in-stallations. (k) Every camp car should be provided with equipment capable of maintaining a tem-perature of at least 68 degrees F

7、. during nor-mal cold weather and no greater than 78 de-grees F., or 20 degrees below ambient, which-ever is warmer, during normal hot weather. (l) Existing camp cars may be grand-fathered so as to only be subject to subpara-graphs (c), (d), (f), (h), and (k), in accordance with the following as rec

8、ommended maxi-mums: 13 (c), (d), and (h)by January 1, 1994. 13(f)Indefinitely insofar as the ten percent (10%) requirement for window spacing is concerned. 13(k)by January 1, 1992. 14. Location. Camp cars occupied exclu-sively by individuals employed for the pur-pose of maintaining the right-of-way

9、of a railroad should be located as far as practical from where switching or humping oper-ations of placarded cars occur, as defined in 49 CFR 228.101 (c)(3) and (c)(4), respec-tively. Every reasonable effort should be made to locate these camp cars at least one- half mile (2,640 feet) from where suc

10、h switch-ing or humping occurs. In the event employ-ees housed in camp cars located closer than one-half mile (2,640 feet) from where such switching or humping of cars takes place are exposed to an unusual hazard at such loca-tion, the employees involved should be housed in other suitable accommodat

11、ions. An unusual hazard means an unsafe condi-tion created by an occurrence other than normal switching or humping. 15. General provisions. (a) Sleeping quarters are not considered to be free of interrup-tions caused by noise under the control of the railroad if noise levels attributable to noise so

12、urces under the control of the rail-road exceed an Leq (8) value of 55 dB(A), with windows closed and exclusive of cooling, heating, and ventilating equipment. (b) A railroad should, within 48 hours after notice of noncompliance with these rec-ommendations, fix the deficient condition(s). Where holi

13、days or weekends intervene, the railroad should fix the condition within 8 hours after the employees return to work. In the event such condition(s) affects the safety or health of the employees, such as water, cooling, heating or eating facilities, the rail-road should provide alternative arrange-me

14、nts for housing and eating until the non-complying condition is fixed. 55 FR 30893, July 27, 1990 PART 229RAILROAD LOCOMOTIVE SAFETY STANDARDS Subpart AGeneral Sec. 229.1 Scope. 229.3 Applicability. 229.4 Information collection. 229.5 Definitions. 229.7 Prohibited acts. 229.9 Movement of non-complyi

Anti-climbers means the parts at the ends of adjoining rail vehicles in a train that are designed to engage when subjected to large buff loads to prevent the override of one vehicle by another. Associate Administrator for Safe

37、ty means the Associate Administrator for Safety, Federal Railroad Administra-tion, or that persons delegate as des-ignated in writing. Break means a fracture resulting in complete separation into parts. Build date means the date on which the completed locomotive is shipped by the manufacturer or rem

38、anufacturer to the customer, or if the railroad manu-factures or remanufactures the loco-motive itself, the date on which the lo-comotive is released from the manufac-ture or remanufacture facility. Cab means that portion of the super-structure designed to be occupied by the crew operating the locom

39、otive. Carrier means railroad, as that term is in this section. Collision posts means structural mem-bers of the end structures of a rail ve-hicle that extend vertically from the underframe to which they are securely attached and that provide protection to occupied compartments from an ob-ject penet

40、rating the vehicle during a collision. Corner posts means structural mem-bers located at the intersection of the front or rear surface with the side sur-face of a rail vehicle and which extend vertically from the underframe to the roof. Commuter service means the type of railroad service described u
