2 Railroad Safety and Derailments Railroads are a primary shipper of crude oil and hazardous materials Railroads are fundamentally a safe mode of transport However accidents and derailments do occur Most accidents/derailments do not result in a release of hazardous materials
3 Hazardous Materials For a major release event to occur Accident/derailment must occur Rupture/release must occur Failure of the tank car shell Failure of the release valves Much attention has been devoted to the issue of tank car release Cumulative Probability of Release (CPR) defines risk of release New generation tank cars such as DOT-117 designed to reduce risk of release ( low CPR)
4 Accidents/Derailments Accident/derailment must occur for a incident to take place Accidents include: Derailments Collisions Other Derailments are most common class of accidents 70% of all accidents ( 2014)
5 Total Accidents/Incidents TOTAL ACCIDENTS/INCIDENTS 11,896 11,598 TOTAL TRAIN ACCIDENTS (including derailments): 1,762 1,824 HIGHWAY-RAIL INCIDENTS 2,287 2,098 OTHER INCIDENTS (including trespassers) : 7,847 7,676
