CN on May 8 announced the winners of its 2023 Safe Handling Awards, presented to customers who “load freight cars with dangerous goods and meet strict standards for the safe handling and shipment of regulated products.”
The winners, according to CN, must meet established criteria, according to a total number of shipments of dangerous goods for all facilities.
The full list of winners can be found below.
“I want to congratulate the 2023 winners for upholding the highest standards in their handling of dangerous goods for their safe transportation across CN’s network,” said CN Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer Rémi Lalonde. “But more importantly, I want to thank them: safety is our shared value, and it really is the most important thing we do. CN is proud to highlight and to celebrate 193 shippers for their achievements and commitment to safety.”
“We take great pride in acknowledging our customers for their dedication to maintaining a safe operation,” said CN Vice-President Petroleum & Chemicals Buck Rogers. “At CN, safety is not just a priority, but our fundamental principle, shared mutually with our customers. It’s our collective responsibility to actively ensure a secure workplace for our employees and communities alike.”
The Safe Handling Award is an integral part of the Responsible Care® Program—an ongoing performance improvement initiative in which CN is a partner, both in Canada and the U.S., and goes “hand-in-hand with CN’s goal to become the safest railway in North America,” the Class I said.
