CNA Unit Teams With Consultant On Rail Safety
CNA E&S has formed an alliance with ZETA-TECH Associates Inc. to expand the value-added loss control, operations, management and training services offered to its railway policyholders. ZETA-TECH, based in Cherry Hill, NJ, provides high-end consulting services, training programs, applied technology and software products exclusively for the railroad industry.
Together with ZETA-TECH, CNA E&S' Railroad unit now offers its policyholders, an enhanced value-added portfolio including:
- Training
- Safety Audits
- Derailment Analysis and Assessment
- Operations Improvement Assessment
- Heavy Axle Load Upgrade Cost/Benefit Analysis
- Software Products
These new services will be provided in addition to the current value-added package from CNA E&S which includes bi-monthly Safety Briefs, quarterly newsletters, access to its safety video library, and railroad safety handbooks & self-evaluation safety checklists.
"With ZETA-TECH, we can now offer even greater value-added safety products and services to help our policyholders protect against future losses and help them further improve their overall operations and bottom line," said Martin Barratt, CNA E&S Loss Control director.
According to Barratt this new alliance will allow CNA E&S to better serve its railway and transportation customers by offering cutting-edge loss control services that were previously unavailable or out-of-reach, particularly for its shortline policyholders.
"This alliance gives our company the opportunity to access new shortline customers, a fast growing portion of the railroad industry," said ZETA-TECH President Dr. Allan M. Zarembski. "As the alliance begins to bear fruit we hope to play an expanding role in providing even higher levels of support capabilities to CNA E&S policyholders."
