The confidential Close Call
Reporting System (C3RS)
is a partnership between
NASA , the FRA, Participating railroads
and labor organizations. It is designed to
improve railroad safety by collecting and
studying reports detailing unsafe conditions
and events in the railroad industry.
Employees will be able to report
safety issues or “close calls” voluntarily
and confidentially.
