Hazardous Train Derailments
By Joe Anderson, CPCU, ARM AFSB, CBRA
Principal & Fractional Chief Risk Officer
Are you prepared to handle a 1,000-gallon hazardous materials spill?
Vinyl Chloride, sulfuric acid, chlorine, hydrochloric acid and ammonia - all highly toxic chemicals - are hazardous materials being transported every day by rail cars across the country.
Most towns/cities and other municipalities are ill-prepared for spills of this size and scope, let alone the businesses inside them. The below article highlights this risk.
At Fortify Risk Management, LLC, our team of chief risk officers can walk your corporate team through the steps to build a team and a plan to address these risks. We offer Business Resiliency Planning and HAZWOPER trainings that can be customized to your companies needs.
Don't get caught with your "corporate pants down" in a disaster.
