Anacosta Rail Holdings news release:

CSS Safety: An individual and team responsibility

Submitted on Thursday, February 22, 2018 - 12:54pm
 

This article and more are in the 2018 edition of Chicago South Shore & South Bend Railroad's Power to Move newsletter.

 

CSS has achieved important new safety milestones as everyone continues to focus on injury-free performance.

 

On January 1, 2018, we reached 1,270 injury-free days. Last year, on March 18, 2017, our mechanical department achieved four years of injury-free performance. CSS started 2018 with three straight injury-free years.

Individual responsibility and empowerment are keys to our success. We reinforce this by requiring managers to always support choosing the safe practice in several ways:

  • 100 percent rule compliance is required;
  • Employees are supported when they raise safety concerns; and
  • Potentially unsafe conditions are addressed promptly.

We are fortunate to have good leaders in key positions who support our customers and employees.

 

Steven Staley, director of operations, spearheads this effort by supporting our transportation managers and employees with policies and procedures that enable us to meet customer service needs safely.

 

Roadmaster Don Trent and Chief Mechanical Officer Justin Moon consistently support safe operations for transportation and mechanical employees—along with our customers—by maintaining safe conditions and educating employees and customers whenever issues arise.

 

We further support this by recognizing the success of our team with an annual Safety Dinner as well as our periodic mile-stone events.

 

CSS is committed to supporting all employees when they take personal responsibility for their safety, and the safety of others.

 

We look forward to continued success in the most important aspect of our operations—safety.

 

Mike Shore
CSS Vice President Operations
