Task Force

Damage Prevention Outreach Program Task Force

Leader: Andrew Knouse, Norfolk Southern Corporation

The Task Force’s goal is to raise awareness and share information regarding preventable chassis damage with stakeholders involved in moving, storing and maintaining chassis. Presentation tools and resources, which could include documents, slides, and/or handouts, may be utilized by IANA members during local outreach events to highlight proper use and handling of intermodal chassis and the operational and safety benefits of doing so.
