PausedFRA & BNSF Qualification Guideline Changes (January 2018)
BNSF has implemented a change to TINS re-qualification period. The change is moving back to 3-years to align with FRA part 243 safety training frequency. Once becoming TINS re-qualified, it will automatically extend FRA Tier II qualification for another 3-year period. The new 3-year term does not affect employee's current qualification dates. The requalification process remains unchanged and consists of a two-day class and exam (requiring a minimum passing score of 85%).
