CN recently won the TRANSCAER® National Achievement Award for the second-straight year. The award recognizes a company’s commitment to helping communities prepare for and respond to potential transportation incidents involving hazardous materials.

In 2010, CN's dangerous goods team held 257 TRANSCAER (Transportation Community Awareness and Emergency Response) events across its network, involving more than 5,000 participants. TRANSCAER provides free emergency preparedness training to local and regional emergency response organizations, and helps educate communities near major rail lines about rail equipment, chemical transportation and the importance of planning for potential haz-mat emergencies.

“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, in a prepared statement. “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.”
