(pertaining to failure to obtain samples for post-accident toxicological testing).
(c) For any train or non-train incident, the railroad shall provide any available information concerning the possible
involvement of alcohol or drug use or impairment in such accident or incident.
(d) In providing information required by this paragraph, a railroad shall not disclose any information concerning
use of controlled substances determined by the railroad's Medical Review Officer to have been consistent with 49

§ 225.19 Primary groups of accidents/incidents.
(a) For reporting purposes reportable railroad accidents/incidents are divided into three groups:
Group I--Highway-Rail Grade Crossing;
Group II--Rail Equipment;
Group III--Death, Injury and Occupational Illness.
(b) Group I--Highway-rail grade crossing. Each highway-rail grade crossing accident/incident must be reported to
the FRA on Form FRA F 6180.57, regardless of the extent of damages or whether a casualty occurred. In addition,
whenever a highway-rail grade crossing accident/incident results in damages greater than the current reporting
threshold to railroad on-track equipment, signals, track, track structures, or roadbed, that accident/incident shall be
reported to the FRA on Form FRA F 6180.54. For reporting purposes, damages include labor costs and all other
costs to repair or replace in kind damaged on-track equipment, signals, track, track structures, or roadbed, but do
not include the cost of clearing a wreck.
(c) Group II--Rail equipment. Rail equipment accidents/incidents are collisions, derailments, fires, explosions, acts
of God, and other events involving the operation of on-track equipment (standing or moving) that result in damages
higher than the current reporting threshold (i.e., $6,700 for calendar years 2002 through 2005, $7,700 for calendar
year 2006, $8,200 for calendar year 2007, $8,500 for calendar year 2008, $8,900 for calendar year 2009, $9,200 for
calendar year 2010 and $9,400 for calendar year 2011) to railroad on-track equipment, signals, tracks, track
structures, or roadbed, including labor costs and the costs for acquiring new equipment and material. Each rail
equipment accident/incident must be reported to the FRA on Form FRA F 6180.54. If the property of more than one
railroad is involved in an accident/incident, the reporting threshold is calculated by including the damages suffered
by all of the railroads involved. See § 225.23, Joint Operations. The reporting threshold will be reviewed
periodically, and, if necessary, will be adjusted every year.
(d) Group III--Death, injury, or occupational illness. Each death, injury, or occupational illness that is a new case
and meets the general reporting criteria listed in paragraphs (d)(1) through (6) of this section shall be reported to
FRA on Form FRA F 6180.55a, “Railroad Injury and Illness Summary (Continuation Sheet)” if an event or
exposure arising from the operation of a railroad is a discernable cause of the resulting condition or a discernable
cause of a significant aggravation to a pre-existing injury or illness. The event or exposure arising from the
operation of a railroad need only be one of the discernable causes; it need not be the sole or predominant cause.
The general injury/illness reporting criteria are as follows:
(1) Death to any person;
(2) Injury to any person that results in:
(i) Medical treatment;
(ii) Significant injury diagnosed by a physician or other licensed health care professional even if it
does not result in death, medical treatment or loss of consciousness of any person; or
14
(iii) Loss of consciousness;
(3) Injury to a railroad employee that results in:
(i) A day away from work;
(ii) Restricted work activity or job transfer; or
(iii) Significant injury diagnosed by a physician or other licensed health care professional even if it
does not result in death, medical treatment, loss of consciousness, a day away from work, restricted
work activity or job transfer of a railroad employee;
(4) Occupational illness of a railroad employee that results in:
(i) A day away from work;
(ii) Restricted work activity or job transfer;
(iii) Loss of consciousness; or
(iv) Medical treatment;
(5) Significant illness of a railroad employee diagnosed by a physician or other
licensed health care professional even if it does not result in death, a day away from work, restricted work
activity or job transfer, medical treatment, or loss of consciousness;
(6) Illness or injury that:
(i) Meets the application of any of the following specific case criteria:
(A) Needlestick or sharps injury to a railroad employee;
(B) Medical removal of a railroad employee;
(C) Occupational hearing loss of a railroad employee;
(D) Occupational tuberculosis of a railroad employee;
(E) Musculoskeletal disorder of a railroad employee if this disorder is reportable under one or more
of the general reporting criteria; or
(ii) Is a covered data case.
(e) The reporting threshold is $6,700 for calendar years 2002 through 2005, $7,700 for calendar year 2006, $8,200
for calendar year 2007, $8,500 for calendar year 2008, $8,900 for calendar year 2009, $9,200 for calendar year
2010 and $9,400 for calendar year 2011. The procedure for determining the reporting threshold for calendar years
2006 and beyond appears as paragraphs 1-8 of appendix B to part 225.
