Launched in 1992, the Canadian National 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.

“This award reflects the commitment of our customers to ensuring we run a safe operation. Safety is a core value at CN and one we share with our customers as we must all be engaged and responsible for creating a safe environment for employees and communities,” said Buck Rogers, vice-president of petroleum and chemicals, rail centric supply chain at CN.

“With 4,300 tank cars, Murex pays attention to railcar safety and safe handling of liquid fuel products. Railcar safety is good business,” said Luke Parkhurst, Senior Vice President.
