Does CP transport hazardous materials?
Many everyday products contain hazardous materials, and these must be transported some way to and from manufacturers. Rail is one of the safest modes of transport and Canadian Pacific moves these products in line with strict federal rules and industry guidelines. Safety initiatives include rail car safety features, loading and unloading procedures and employee training. CP works with municipalities and first responders to prepare emergency response plans for railway incidents. It is also a member of Responsible Care, an international chemical industry initiative which promotes the safe handling and transport of dangerous goods.
