A one-half acre site of CN’s rail yard was set up with six different hazmat training stations providing diverse training for all the attendees.
Some of the stations included: CP Rail’s hands-on chemical foam spraying activity, chemical distributors Univar and Brenntag with many hazmat containers, 5 different chemical producers (Dow, Nova, ERCO, Canexus, and Agrium) with their emergency response units, Quantum Murray bringing various pieces of emergency equipment, 4 government regulatory agencies holding classroom sessions, and Northwest running an exhibit regarding safety features of three different chemical and compressed gas tank trailers.
Over the two-day TRANSCAER® conference, we hosted 250 community first responders and various industry shippers and customers – what a turnout!
