In relay or hostler service, which documents are crewmembers not required to carry while in service but must have when reporting for duty?

• A. Bulletin Orders and other pertinent information, which may affect their duties
• B. Timetables, NORAC Operating Rules, or Special Instructions
• C. Safety Regulations TRO-5
• D. All of the above

Answer: (B)

The key idea is what documents a crewmember must have in hand when reporting for duty, versus what is required to be carried while actually in service. The items you must possess at the moment you report for duty are the timetables, NORAC Operating Rules, and any Special Instructions. These materials ensure you know the exact rules and procedures that will govern your shift before you start work.

Bulletin Orders and other pertinent information that may affect duties, as well as Safety Regulations TRO-5, are typically the kinds of documents that are used or consulted during service to handle changes, safety requirements, or immediate instructions. They aren’t the ones designated as the documents you must have in hand when you report for duty, which is why they don’t fit the scenario described.
