Written by jrood

Canadian National has earned the TRANSCAER® (Transportation Community Awareness and Emergency Response) National Achievement Award. CN received the prize for the second straight year in recognition of its commitment to helping communities prepare for and respond to potential transportation incidents involving hazardous materials. "Safety is a core value at CN and it is important for us to partner with communities to integrate their safety procedures with ours," said Paul Miller, CN's chief safety and sustainability officer. "We are proud that CN's continued efforts to go beyond the normal call of duty to advocate and implement the principles of TRANSCAER have been recognized once again. "In 2010, CN's Dangerous Goods Team held a total of 257 TRANSCAER events across its network, reaching more than 5,000 participants." National TRANSCAER Task Group Chairman Rollie Shook said, "CN's Dangerous Goods Team clearly understand the importance of having a strong community outreach program to promote the safe transportation of dangerous goods and effective emergency response across the North American rail network."
