Union Pacific's Third Party Flagging Policy
Union Pacific (UP) frequently receives requests from outside parties to work on or near its property for projects unrelated to railroad operations. Safety protection is required to ensure nearby trains and people working are kept safe. When it is determined that assistance is required (i.e. flagging) to provide a safe work environment, it is the outside party's responsibility to use a qualified vendor, as well as ensure the vendor is approved by UP. The approval process ensures outside parties understand and comply with applicable safety rules and processes. The following are approved vendors to consider. UP also will consider alternative qualified vendors provided they meet requirements.
