In the first instance I would change this to hazard:description=*.
Presumably the hazard itself
is hazard=train(s) which is rather self-explanatory and pretty much
implicit for level crossings.
There are a total of 26 train on taginfo.openstreetmap.org, with a couple
of hazard=trains.

Finding an appropriate tag for those Network Rail consider particularly
significant would also
be useful. It's several years since Paul Sladen asked me to collect some
information about a
couple of pedestrian level crossings in Beeston which had a high rate of
fatalities. I've only revisted
one since 2020 and that now has traffic signals.

PS Incidentally, hazard=school_zone which is a popular value seems
misplaced to me.
