CSX has hired DERKA, Incorporated, to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the railroad’s safety performance.
In a news release, CSX said the review is a “key component of CSX’s intensified focus on improving safety performance for its employees, customers and the communities in which it operates.”
The review will begin in June and is expected to be finished in the fall.
CSX CEO James Foote had announced at the annual meeting that CSX would be spending money on safety, including hiring a safety officer.
