■ A freight train from Rotterdam (NL) to Terneuzen (NL) derailed
at 2 a.m at 500 m of city centre of Wetteren (close to Ghent)
■ 3 rail tankcars containing acrylonitrile overturned, leaked and caught fire
■ 1 fatality (due to inhalation of toxic vapors)
■ 2.000 persons evacuated / 400 persons hospitalized
■ Public live at Wetteren on hold for one week
Keeping our license to operate in chemical logistics is determined by our ability to manage the safety risks

Risk Management in Chemical Logistics
All stakeholders have a role to play
International authorities
National authorities
Chemical companies
Logistics service providers (all modes)
Industry associations (Cefic, ECTA, national associations …)
…
Page 8
Promote cost effective, safe and sustainable logistics
Promote high safety, security and environmental standards, supporting the chemical industries’ Responsible Care Program
Develop and promote industry best practices
Develop and manage services and systems (SQAS, ICE, …)
Advocate the chemical industries’ position in relation to regulatory initiatives
Identify and evaluate societal issues and developments

Cefic - ECTA Responsible Care Partnership for transport operations
ECTA: European Chemical Transport
Association
ECTA Responsible Care
Core Principles
Continuously improve the environmental,
health and safety performance of our transport
operations of chemical goods to avoid harm to
people and the environment
Use resources and fuel efficiently and minimize
waste
Take adequate measures to ensure the
security of our operations
Collect data and report openly on our
performance, achievements and shortcomings
Listen, engage and work with people to
understand and address their concerns and
expectations

Cefic learning from accidents database on SQAS website see http://www.sqas.org/download-accidents
Example of an accident report
New Guidelines on Investigation of Logistics Incidents
- By extracting the learning from incidents and taking the appropriate
corrective actions, we can avoid that the same kind of events occur again
- Checking of the reports on the Cefic accident database indicated that root causes and corrective actions were not always properly identified
- Not all chemical/transport companies are familiar with the techniques of transport incident investigation and root cause analysis
Development of new Cefic/ECTA/FECC Guidelines
