The safe and secure transport of essential chemicals is a responsibility shared between chemical manufacturers and all our transportation partners. These chemicals are required to manufacture the products upon which Americans rely for their health, safety, security, defense, agriculture and transportation—including rail.

That’s why efforts to enhance the safety of transporting chemicals requires a comprehensive approach that includes all of the factors that affect safety.
