Like any other job there are occupational hazards that have to be minimized where possible and dealt with when necessary. The accidental killing of another human being should be a traumatic event in the life of the train operator. Regardless of whether the person jumps, is pushed or falls, should not make a difference. I'd question their sanity if it were not. If and when it happens, the operator should be given the care and resources available to any other employee injured in any other way while on duty. They should be allowed to heal. To do less or to suggest that they use "stronger" people to do the job trivializes the issue and that's not something that we should be doing. Sometimes you are right on the mark but this time you completely missed the target. |
