# §236.1049. Training specific to roadway workers.

- (a) **Roadway worker training.** Training required under this subpart for a roadway worker shall be integrated into the program of instruction required under [part 214](/cfr/49/part214.md), [subpart C](/cfr/49/subpartC.md) of this chapter (“Roadway Worker Protection”), consistent with task analysis requirements of [§ 236.1043](/cfr/49/236.1043.md). This training shall provide instruction for roadway workers who provide protection for themselves or roadway work groups.
- (b) **Training subject areas.**
  - (1) Instruction for roadway workers shall ensure an understanding of the role of processor-based signal and train control equipment in establishing protection for roadway workers and their equipment.
  - (2) Instruction for all roadway workers working in territories where PTC is required under this subpart shall ensure recognition of processor-based signal and train control equipment on the wayside and an understanding of how to avoid interference with its proper functioning.
  - (3) Instructions concerning the recognition of system failures and the provision of alternative methods of on-track safety in case the train control system fails, including periodic practical exercises or simulations and operational testing under [part 217](/cfr/49/part217.md) of this chapter to ensure the continued capability of roadway workers to be free from the danger of being struck by a moving train or other on-track equipment.
