In 2008, the Chemistry Industry Association of Canada introduced the third version of its Transportation Emergency Assistance Program, or TEAP® III. As part of TEAP III, CIAC developed a Transportation Emergency Response Standard (CIAC TER Standard), which establishes the minimum criteria for effective road and rail emergency planning, preparedness and response for a CIAC member-companies. TEAP III provides requirements for planning, administration, training, resource utilization, assessment and other aspects of emergency preparedness and response.
To support its TER Standard, CIAC also engaged stakeholders in developing a second standard for on-scene service providers, whether in-house, mutual aid or for hire: the TEAP III Transportation Emergency Response Service Provider Standard (TEAP III TERSP Standard). The purpose of this initiative is to maintain an identified TERSP network with the capability and capacity to safely and efficiently respond, control, contain and remediate the impacts of a chemical transportation incident. Information on the TEAP III TERSP network registrations can be found here.
The following documents have been developed to assist CIAC members in meeting the TER and TEAP III TERSP standards:
