Freight railroad BNSF is generally striving to improve safety on a consistent basis, but that message doesn't always reach front-line workers who often don't feel comfortable reporting safety concerns for fear of being disciplined, according to an assessment released Wednesday by regulators.

The BNSF review is more positive than last summer's Norfolk Southern report, which said executives at that railroad were too often satisfied with only doing the minimum for safety. Regulators also reiterated their recommendation for BNSF and all the major freight railroads to sign on to the confidential federal safety reporting hotline for workers to report concerns without fear of being punished.

“Effective reporting systems improve safety by reducing risks and allow for changes and repairs to be made so safety incidents do not recur,” according to the report.
