Your crew has a work order to pull 8 cars of radioactive material from CTU Industries. The 2nd car in the track is not listed on the work order. What are you required to do?

• A. Pull the 2nd car and notify supervisor
• B. Set out the 2nd car. Report it as work not completed
• C. Pull the car and ignore the discrepancy
• D. Notify dispatcher only

Answer: (B)

When you encounter a car that isn’t listed on the work order, you must handle it so it isn’t moved without proper authorization and documentation. Setting the unlisted car out of service and reporting the discrepancy as work not completed creates a safe, auditable record and prevents moving potentially hazardous material until the work order is corrected or clarified by supervision. This approach keeps everyone safe and ensures regulatory and company procedures are followed. Pulling the unlisted car would move it without authorization, which is unsafe and noncompliant. Simply notifying the dispatcher without isolating and documenting the discrepancy leaves the issue unresolved and the car at risk of being moved improperly. Making no action at all or ignoring the discrepancy risks a serious safety violation.
