4697 REVIEW DENIED Nothing in the Federal Employer's Liability Act (FELA), or Safety Appliance Act (SAA), or regulations it includes specify what type handholds must be used on the kind of railroad car on which plaintiff was injured, and since the implementing regulations only represent the minimum safety equipment required, nothing prohibits installation of additional safety appliances not mentioned in the Act or Regulations, including vertical rather than horizontal handholds.CitationWOODS v UNION PACIFIC RR (Vertical Handholds) 162 CA4 571 [See: 45 USC 51 etseq, 49 USC 20301 etseq; Lund v San Joaquin Vly RR 31 C4 1, T/AT 8/03; Frastaci v Vapor 158 CA4 1389, T/AT 2/08]
