RWIC Compliance Checklist
FRA Audit Edition
12 items every railroad flagging contractor should have documented before an FRA inspector walks on-site. Used by RWIC field operations teams managing 5–200 crew.
What’s in the checklist?
Daily Field Report (DFR) — dated, signed, complete for every active job
RWIC certifications on file — verified not expired for all deployed crew
Job briefing records — documented pre-job safety briefings
Timecard records — RFL activity codes applied to all time entries
Incident/near-miss log — with root cause and corrective action
Equipment inspection records — per FRA 213 requirements
Employee training records — including roadway worker protection (RWP)
Radio communication logs — for flagging zone coordination
Client notifications on file — schedule changes, delays, crew swaps
Subcontractor compliance docs — certs and briefing records for all subs
Multi-state wage allocation records — if crew worked across state lines
Chain of custody for signed documents — e-sign or wet signature with timestamps
This checklist was developed from FRA inspection requirements under 49 CFR Part 213, 214, and 228.
