“Safety is our top priority, and we are glad to see that PHMSA listened to industry’s input when finalising the requirements that allow for faster response and help minimise the risk to the communities our members serve. The changes within the final regulation continue to help move the needle on safety, while ensuring AGA’s members are maintaining reliable and affordable natural gas service,” said Christina Sames, AGA’s Senior Vice President, Safety, Operations and Security.
AGA’s Commitment to Enhancing Safety, Environmental Stewardship and Security, adopted in 2012 and most recently updated in 2021, includes voluntary actions adopted by AGA members for the purpose of improving safety, continuing to protect the environment, and increasing the security of all pipeline facilities.
America’s natural gas utilities invest US$91 million every day on enhancing the safety of natural gas distribution and transmission systems.
