When the Railway Association of Canada (RAC) launched its dangerous goods (DG) team in 1999, Andy Ash, the RAC’s Director of Dangerous Goods, knew he would work closely on the Transportation Community Awareness and Emergency Response (TRANSCAER®) initiative.
"As rail carriers, we want to be transparent in the community and the municipality, specifically aiming our training at first responders such as fire, police and emergency medical services," says Ash. "TRANSCAER® deals with products that are transported within the area. In the unlikely event of an accident involving dangerous goods, the communities’ first responders will have to deal with some of the products."
