Safety Metrics
Becoming the Safest Railway in North America
CN has led the industry in so many aspects of the railroad business and we are determined to also be the safest in North America.
Each region/function must continue to focus on the consistent application of their safety management plan to address safety issues comprehensively. Critical components of CN’s safety management plan include employee involvement, risk assessment, efficiency testing and preventive actions aimed at accident/incident root causes. Continued focus on safety culture, through initiatives such as Looking Out for Each Other, Peer-to-peer communication, safety summits and thorough cause-finding investigations, will continue to drive positive results in the reduction of accidents and injuries.
