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.
