THE ANALYSIS OF TRANSPORTATION RISKS FROM A SHIPPER'S VIEWPOINT

Du Pont as a manufacturer and shipper of hazardous commodities is concerned not only with safety during the manufacturing process but also with the safe transportation of such commodities. It relies to a substantial degree on experience derived from manufacturing and plant handling for achieving safety during transportation of its hazardous products. Du Pont supports new procedures or refinement of existing methods which will enhance safety in the transportation of hazardous commodities, but believes it will be necessary to rely on the present regulatory system while new approaches are being tested and evaluated.
