Safety Appliance Act

Read a random definition: too big to fail

A quick definition of Safety Appliance Act:

The Safety Appliance Act is a law that makes sure the equipment used by trains traveling between different states is safe. This law helps prevent accidents and keeps people safe.

A more thorough explanation:

The Safety Appliance Act is a federal law that governs the safety of equipment used by railroads in interstate commerce. This law is found in the United States Code Annotated (USCA) under sections 20301 et seq.

One example of the Safety Appliance Act in action is the requirement for all railroad cars to have automatic couplers. These couplers allow cars to be connected and disconnected without workers having to climb between them, reducing the risk of injury.

Another example is the requirement for all locomotives to have air brakes. Air brakes allow the train to stop more quickly and safely than manual brakes, reducing the risk of accidents.

These examples illustrate how the Safety Appliance Act aims to improve the safety of railroad workers and passengers by mandating specific safety equipment and practices.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
Dkkm11

Yeah, my life really does flow in about 5 years periods.
