Gas Utility Members: Honor Workers on March 18

Posted By IAMU, Wednesday, March 10, 2021

March 18 is national Natural Gas Utility Workers’ Day – a day set aside to honor this country’s natural gas utility workers. March 18 is the date of the New London, Texas, school explosion in 1937 that led to the widespread odorization of natural gas and an increased emphasis on safety. Safety is crucial to natural gas distribution, and the employees of distribution companies endeavor to make natural gas delivery as safe as possible.
