Balance Mitigation (Admin & Controls)
ACC - Responsible CareAn Administrative Control
•Olin is a Responsible Care Member• Care about all distribution events
even non-custodial events•All in together….
Risk Categories (Rail)
• Proper Handling (Customer and Railroad)
• Equipment Health (Safe for Transportation)
• Equipment Handling (Ride Quality)
• In-Plant Security
• In-Transit Security
• Outcomes can be influenced by othersCreate comprehensive tracking records on every shipment
including safety and environmental effects

Weekly Average Condemnable Wheels 2012-2017
Series1
We Monitor/Fix our Wheels to Keep Dangerous Railcars off the Rails
Fleet Health Results
• Averaging $$K/mon savings by removing alerts on new WheelSets
• Helped to flatten maintenance budget
• Save by preferring Turned Wheels over New
• Focus and streamline our inspections
• Found Dangerous Trucks
• Win Win Win !!!

DERAILMENTS 2000-2015
Why Weather and EarthQuakes?
• Ensure Olin railcars do not contribute to derailments or track infrastructure decline– Railcars are flagged for inspection (Bearing damage –
Flooding, Wheel & PRV Earthquake)
• Probability Extreme weather events is high in the Gulf regions, East Coast, and Quakes West
• Shipments can go from South to North seeing 80 degree temperature swing

SECURITY (Tampering)• Motion detection Image capture• In-transit valve dome access with ImageRIDE QUALITY• Impact Accelerations in G’s• MPH Coupling and Decelerations speed• Image Capture for high impact events
Security Events Reported• 17 HCL tank-car tampering since October-09
– Working with RR, TSA, Rail Police, State police
• Tamper indicator bags
• Inspection Photos post-load
• Motion Detection GPS Cameras
In-Transit
False Alarms Happen
Motion Image Capture
But It Works...o False alarms can be
reduced
o Takes about 2 minutes to
review images each day
(about 120 images)
o Wildlife
o Drastic light changes
• Locomotive
• Yard Lights
Abnormal Ride Quality
• Short Duration high impact events < 50 ms
• Over-Speed couplings (7 mph) GPS based
• Vertical or Side events
• Olin Marks these for inspection
• LOGIC to Insert Event into OEHM Alert CUE

Olin’s Intent
• Share a RR’s Data with THAT RR• Not share a RRs ride quality data with other RR!!!• Hope/belief RR will use data to fix issues
As a Rule:• Olin will not report individual event to RR. This
avoids RR costs to resolve single events• Share results about systematic problems
Pilot to test Trip RecordingLow Cost option for GPS
