Certification and training of track supervisors and track inspectors (TSR Part 1, Rule 7)
| Date | Respondent | Reasonableness | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10/10/2018 22:18 | NELSON ELECTRIC TRAMWAY SOCIETY | Reasonable | |
| 10/19/2018 | Teck Coal | Somewhat unreasonable | The new requirement of a minimum 1 year experience in railway track inspection will be difficult to comply for industrial railways. Up to know a training certificate was sufficient and the new internal track inspector would then have time to gain experience. |
| 11/5/2018 | Cando Rail Services Ltd | Reasonable | |
| 11/22/2018 | Anonymous (Heritage Railway) | Reasonable | Yes We follow inspection certification provided by certified track inspection instructor. All track inspection staff have been certified through this process for last 6 years. |
| 11/23/2018 | Kamloops Heritage Railway | Reasonable | I attend classes, get qualified and preform the inspections for The KHR. |
