Updated Responsible Care program wins carrier approval

摘要

Like many fledgling attempts to enhance safety and efficiency in the transportation of hazardous materials, the Responsible Care Partnership program for tank truck carriers had to get out of the nest before it could test its wings.rnToday, the program is soaring, according to several carriers that are participating in the American Chemistry Council-sponsored initiative. The program has now evolved into the Responsible Care Management System (RCMS), a much more robust means of measuring carrier performance.rn"Our company (as a Responsible Care Partner) now says: 'This is w.hat we are going to do, here's how we are going to do it, here's how we are going to measure it, and our management will take regular reviews,' " says Lee Miller president of Miller Transporters Inc. "In Responsible Care parlance, that's the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle. It's so simple it's brilliant."
