So...

If incidents are more likely to occur at a location, rather than along the transportation route, and if the number of incidents are trending down …

…why are we here today?


We are here because…

• Of our concern for your community safety and security, and

• We need and rely upon safe and efficient transportation to receive raw materials and to ship products to customers in North America and exports to global markets


CIAC Responsible Care

• Condition of membership since 1985

• Commitment to improved health, safety and environmental performance and to social responsibility

• Ethic and three Codes of Practice underpin the Responsible Care management system


Transportation Elements

• Transportation risk managementSelect safe modeSelect safe routesSelect safe carriers

• Transportation emergency responseTEAP III

• TransCAERCommunicate with communities along transportation

routes


But…

While Responsible Care has played a key role in reducing the frequency and severity of incidents involving transportation of dangerous goods...

...incidents do happen!

So we have...


• A transportation emergency response program designed to have the capability and capacity to safely and efficiently respond, control, contain, stabilize and mitigate the impacts of a chemical transportation incident

• Standards for CIAC member companies and their transportation emergency response contractors with assessments for both
