Rail Security Plans
ERAC can develop rail security plans and associated training for Plan Participant members.
A railway loader must implement a security plan under the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, 1992 and the Transportation of Dangerous Goods by Rail Security Regulations SOR/2019-113. More information is available on Transport Canada's Enhancing the security of the transportation of dangerous goods by rail site.
A railway loader is defined as
- any person that operates a handling site, or
- any manufacturer or producer of dangerous goods that has possession of dangerous goods at a handling site for the purposes of loading them prior to, or unloading them after, transportation by rail.
The content of a written plan includes items such as
- identifying responsible persons,
- organizational structure,
- security risk assessment and
- prevention.
There is also a security awareness training component to these plans.
