Canada Proposes Security Rules For Rail Safety

摘要

Canada is proposing more stringent security regulations for rail transport of dangerous goods to better protect the public, railway workers and to align with U.S. rules. The draft regulations would require railways to provide security awareness training for all workers, implement security plans to address potential risks, and provide security plan training for employees, the government said. They are projected to cost rail carriers about C$3.4 million ($2.6 million) and consignors about C$6.19 million ($4.8 million) over a 10-year period after final regulations are adopted and implemented.
