[KPFARS-Members] Pipeline Safety Program

[Alfred Low-Beer]

Our squad members have been invited to participate in a pipelane safety program and dinner on October 20, 2014, at the Imperia on Easton (1714 Easton Avenue, Somerset, NJ 08873).  Dinner is at 5:30 p.m. and the program follows and  is about 90 minutes long with a question and answer session following the program.  The program is sponsored by a cooperative of pipeline owners including Buckeye Partners, Citgo, Phillips 66, Sunoco, Williams Gas, and others.

The program syllabus reads as follows:

Do
you know where the gas and liquid pipelines are located in your
jurisdiction?  Are you prepared to respond
to a pipeline release?  ­Although pipeline
releases are rare, you need to be prepared - your community is depending on you.


Local
pipeline and gas distribution companies are hosting a pipeline-safety program that
includes a meal and presentation. Critical emergency response planning information
will be presented. The following objectives will be covered during the program: 



            • Pipeline Purpose and Reliability                                                       •
Products: Hazards and Characteristics

            • Safety Initiatives                                                                                  •
