What is the Rohm and Haas Safety Train Railroad tank cars and cargo tanks move large quantities of hazardous materials safely and efficiently every day. Only a very few incidents occur each year during the loading, unloading and transporting of these chemicals. At Rohm and Haas, we believe that even a few incidents is too many. Our vision is to comply with transportation regulations and to lead the way in training our employees and public emergency response personnel in the handling of hazardous materials.
Hazardous materials exist as a necessary fact of our life.
Handled wisely, they provide many benefits. Handled improperly, they may pose serious risks. The Rohm and Haas Safety Train takes rail car and tank truck hazardous materials training onto and next to the tracks. Our instruction is intended not only for employees, but also firefighters, police officers and others that may respond to transportation emergencies. It is designed to improve community awareness of hazardous materials transportation, encourage partnerships between citizens and industry, assist emergency responders to plan and prepare for a hazardous materials related transportation-related incident and evaluate the community's emergency response plan.
