Because our products are shipped across the world, we at Dow, as well as our customers, recognize the importance of high standards to ensure that hazardous materials are transported and handled safely.

As a Responsible Care^® company, Dow is committed to work with customers, carriers, suppliers, distributors and contractors to foster the safe use, transport and disposal of chemicals.

In 1996, Dow set an aggressive goal to reduce transportation incidents per 10,000 shipments by 90 percent by 2005. Dow selects carriers based on their safety performance and works with them to ensure that drivers have appropriate training and knowledge of the materials, equipment is adequate to sufficiently contain the material, and routes are chosen to avoid densely populated areas. We track our performance and report it publicly.
