“On behalf of CN, I am pleased to congratulate each of the Safe Handling Award recipients for 2021. Working with and around rail equipment is not an easy task and requires constant attention. CN is proud to recognize 241 companies for their outstanding work in safety-related tasks. Working together to ensure everyone goes home safely is paramount.
