Handed out to a total of 50 companies each year, the honor is presented to shippers who have successfully transported a minimum of 500 loaded tank cars of hazardous materials during the previous 12 months and who worked with their customers to ensure zero non-accident releases. "We are proud to honor these 50 companies for their continued focus and commitment to the safe transportation of hazardous materials," said George Duggan, BNSF vice president, Industrial Products Sales. "Their product stewardship ensures the safety of our employees, the public and the environment."
