Dealing Safely with Natural Gas

Provided as a public service by Taylor Inc.

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, the natural gas delivery system has the best safety record of any energy

delivery system. Between 1986 and 2004, the amount of natural gas traveling through distribution pipelines increased by

one-third, and more than 650,000 miles of pipeline were added across the country. Yet, the number of reportable incidents

on distribution pipelines decreased by 28 percent.  natural gas utilities safely and reliably deliver natural gas to 69 million customers.
Natural gas pipelines have an outstanding safety record, especially when compared to other modes of transportation.

According to the National Transportation Safety Board, in 2002 more than 42,000 transportation fatalities occurred on the

highways, while aviation, boating and railroads accounted for another 2,000 fatalities. In contrast, only 12 fatalities were

associated with natural gas pipelines. The safety record of natural gas utilities is outstanding — and it keeps getting better.

IF YOU SUSPECT A NATURAL GAS LEAK IN YOUR HOME OR OUTSIDE, FOLLOW THESE SAFETY STEPS:

• LEAVE the area IMMEDIATELY.
• DO NOT turn any lights on or off, smoke or use a cell phone, or operate any vehicle or equipment that could cause sparks.
  
• DO NOT attempt to turn natural gas valves on or off.
