One of the most critical components in providing the safe and reliable delivery of natural gas to customers is emergency preparedness. Although every attempt is made by your utility to prevent natural gas emergencies, they have and/or will occur and being prepared for those emergencies is essential for the safety of people as well as property.

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Administration requires that emergency training is conducted with operator personnel and first responders on a yearly basis. One of the best ways to be prepared for natural gas emergencies is to properly conduct meetings and/or training sessions with those who could potentially respond to an emergency. This workshop is designed to provide in depth training for operator personnel on how to properly conduct training sessions as well as how to safely and effectively respond to potential natural gas emergencies. In addition, this workshop will also provide hands-on training on how to safely extinguish live natural gas fires that will include multiple meter set scenarios as well as an excavation damage with ignition.

This workshop will also provide you with the opportunity to meet with natural gas product representatives. Participants will be given approximately 2.5 hours to meet face-to-face with vendors to see and discuss various product lines and provide an opportunity to get to know those individuals who you purchase products from.
