When a Form D is dictated on a train, which group must receive a copy before acting?

• A. All train employees addressed in the Form D
• B. Only the dictating employee
• C. The dispatcher staff
• D. The train master

Answer: (A)

Form D sets instructions that may involve more than one person, so all individuals named in the Form D must have a copy before any action is taken. This ensures everyone is informed, can coordinate with the others, and understands the authority and any restrictions before proceeding. If only the person dictating the form has a copy, others may act on incomplete or misunderstood information, leading to unsafe or conflicting actions. Therefore, the group that must receive copies before acting is all train employees addressed in the Form D.
