§ 33.12. Reportable accidents.

 (a)  A reportable accident is one arising from the operation of a carrier which results in one or more of the following circumstances:

   (1)  The death of a person in a train or train service accident or of a passenger or traveller not on a train or on company premises in a nontrain accident, or an employe, unless the employe accident occurs in connection with new construction, in repair shops, engine houses, freight or passenger stations or accident at coal or water stations which do not occur directly as the result of the operation of a train or trains.

   (2)  Injury to a person other than an employe, in a train or train service accident, or to a passenger or traveller not on a train in a nontrain accident, sufficient to incapacitate the injured person from performing his or her customary vocation or mode of life, for a period of more than one day.

   (3)   Injury to an employe, unless the accident occurs in connection with new construction, in repair shops, engine houses, freight or passenger stations or accidents at coal or water stations which do not occur directly as the result of the operation of a train or trains, sufficient to incapacitate the injured person from performing his or her ordinary duties for more than three days in aggregate during the ten days immediately following the accident. This paragraph applies to employes on duty and to those classed as not on duty, but does not apply to employes classed as passengers or trespassers.

   (4)  For the year 1948, damage to railroad property amounting to more than $250, including the expense of clearing wreck, but no damage to or loss of freight, animals, or property of noncarriers on or adjacent to right of way. For years subsequent to 1948, such minimum amount shall be that adopted by United States Department of Transportation. Casualties, as provided for in this section, shall be included in the report.

   (5)  All accidents occurring at highway-railroad crossings, at grade, involving contact between engines or trains and highway vehicles or pedestrians, irrespective of the amount of property damage or extent of casualties.

   (6)  Nontrain accidents involving highway vehicles running into and damaging crossing gates and other types of protection shall be reported on Monthly Statement Form UCTA-31, or such accidents may be reported individually on Form UCTA-7.
