Written by jrood

INVISTA was one of three companies commended by the Association of American Railroads as a recipient of this year's Grand Slam Award for receiving four Class 1 railroad awards in 2010. The Grand Slam award, presented on behalf of the association's Hazardous Materials Committee and its Non-Accident Release Reduction Task Force, recognizes companies who have achieved the highest level of safety for the rail transportation of hazardous materials. "INVISTA is deeply committed to safe practices in all that we do," said Walter Tyler, INVISTA's global environmental, health and safety director. INVISTA had zero non-accident releases from rail shipments during the 2010 calendar year. This level of safety performance gained the attention of Canadian National, Norfolk Southern, Union Pacific and CSX Transportation, who all awarded INVISTA with transportation safety awards in for 2010. "It is an honor to be selected for these rail-safety awards," said Rob Brown, INVISTA's managing director of global logistics. "The Grand Slam Award affirms our commitment to safety and dedication to continuing these best practices in the future."
