At CP, we know that operating safely is integral to our long-term success. It's not just a requirement for doing business, it's part of who we are. 

This unwavering commitment to safety is why CP led the industry for the 17th consecutive year in 2022, with the lowest Federal Railroad Administration reportable train accident frequency (per million train miles) among Class 1 railroads in North America.

CP is proud to support Operation Lifesaver (OL) in Canada and Operation Lifesaver Inc. (OLI) in the U.S., aligning public rail safety education across North America. In conjunction with OL and OLI, CP works diligently to share rail safety messages year-round throughout the communities we operate in and through. CP shines a light on dangerous activities, and encourages safe behaviours around tracks and trains to eliminate injuries and fatalities by participating in Rail Safety Week, held annually in September, and a variety of community outreach activities. To request a rail safety presentation, or become a rail safety ambassador, please visit OL or OLI
