April 23 2020 - 3:15PM
CN (TSX: CNR) (NYSE: CNI) today announced the winners of its Safe
Handling Award for 2019. Recognizing people for staying safe in
these challenging times is more important than ever.
It is easy to become distracted by the current
response to COVID-19, but safety never takes a break. It is in this
spirit of keeping everyone safe and healthy that CN announces the
winners of its Safe Handling Award for 2019. In all, 149 companies
received the Safe Handling Award.
“On behalf of CN, I am pleased to congratulate
each of the Safe Handling Award recipients for 2019,” said James
Cairns, senior vice-president, rail centric supply chain at CN.
“This award shows the effort and commitment from our customers to
ensure a safe environment for employees and communities. Safety and
health are at the forefront of everybody’s mind in the current
context and we believe that these companies have demonstrated their
commitment to running a safe
operation.”
Launched in 1992, CN’s Safe Handling Award is
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 must meet established criteria,
according to the total number of shipments of dangerous goods for
all facilities.
The Safe Handling Award goes hand in hand with
CN’s vision to become the safest railway in North America. “There
has been a dramatic reduction in the number of incidents at
customer facilities over the last few years. This is mainly due to
the introduction of new safety initiatives, combined with open
communication and collaborative efforts between our customers and
CN. We want our customers to know that we appreciate and celebrate
their commitment to safety.” added Cairns. “At CN, we work together
as ONE TEAM to ensure everyone goes home safely, and that extends
to our customers.”
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.
