Gauging Our EHS Sustainability Performance
Amtrak EHS Annual Report 2010 | 29
Public Health Compliance Inspections
In FY10 and for the third consecutive year, the EHS department increased the goal
for percentage of inspections rated Satisfactory for all food car, commissary, and
watering point inspections conducted by the Public Health group. The FY09 goal
of 90 percent was increased in FY10 to 91 percent. Amtrak exceeded the goal by
completing the year at 92 percent, which in turn increased the FY11 goal to 92
percent.
As indicated in the chart below, the results from all three inspected areas
exceeded the FY10 goal. The Public Health group worked closely with the various
departments to hone in on the leading causes of violations on food cars, which
were inadequate refrigeration/freezer temperatures, and foods not maintained at
proper internal temperatures. These issues were addressed during each monthly
Division Sanitation Task Force teleconference.
Systemwide Total Satisfactory Conditional %

Injuries and Illnesses
The Federal Railroad Administration currently conducts an audit of injury/illness
cases and rail equipment/grade crossing incidents every two years.
The number of FRA reportable injuries in FY10, increased compared to FY09.
System-wide, the number of FRA reportable injuries was 608 in FY10, an increase
of 36 percent from the 447 in FY09. At the request of Amtrak President and CEO
Joe Boardman, the use of the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) Safety Injury
and Illness Ratio was eliminated as a company and department goals. This may
be a partial cause of the increased number of occupational injuries as pressure to
not report was removed. Also, with the implementation of Safe-2-Safer (S2S),
there is more recognition of workplace safety matters and an effort to better
communicate incidents.
