18 Setembro 2023 - 8:00AM
CN (TSX: CNR) (NYSE: CNI) today launched its annual Rail Safety
Week awareness campaign. The Company joins groups across North
America to raise awareness of the danger of unsafe behaviour around
railway property.
From September 18-24, CN Police Service (CNPS),
along with many CN employees, will share important rail safety
messages in communities across CN’s network to help prevent
accidents and injuries.
“For more than a century, our railways have
connected communities across North America and linked our countries
to the rest of the world. As a vital part of our daily lives,
everyone is responsible for rail safety, which is why CN wants you
to get involved and help us save lives. We encourage you to remind
your loved ones, neighbours, and communities about the critical
importance of being safe around rail property; you could help save
a life.”
- Stephen Covey, Chief of Police and
Chief Security Officer at CN
In North America, there are 2,000 crossing
accidents and 1,000 trespassing incidents on average each year. In
2022 alone, there were 2,194 rail crossing collisions reported in
the US. That resulted in 274 fatalities and 658 injuries. For
Canada, 232 crossing and trespassing incidents resulted in 66
fatalities and 43 serious injuries.
Rail Safety is a Shared
ResponsibilityTogether with cities, towns and Indigenous
communities, CN promotes the rail safety message everywhere we
operate. In 2022, over 270 communities across our network signed
resolutions or proclamations officially recognizing Rail Safety
Week and its significance. For 20 years, the Company has promoted
safe behaviour around rails and trains. We need the help of the
communities we serve, schools and our partners. Increased education
about rail crossing safety and the dangers of trespassing helps
keep everyone safe.
