RMI releases RailDOCS

RMI has released RailDOCS Hours of Service, a new web-based software product to help railroads manage employee hours and comply with federal and railroad requirements. RailDOCS Hours of Service allows for quick recording of employee work hours and provides real-time visibility on employee rest status and availability. RMI says RailDOCS Hours of Service complies with federal regulation 49CRF228, which limits consecutive work hours and mandates undisturbed rest periods and it provides an effective tool to help railroads manage human fatigue, one of the National Transportation Safety Board's most critical safety issues. RailDOCS Hours of Service meets the regulatory requirements for electronic signature and record keeping, and it offers railroad employees two ways to report service hours, online or via an interactive voice response system. It provides tools that support access to service records by the FRA and state inspectors and eliminates the need for a railroad to file excess monthly service reports once record keeping of employee hours is fully electronic.
