AEGIS Loss Control Publishes New Resource for Natural Gas Operators
The top priority of natural gas operators is ensuring the safe delivery of natural gas to their customers. To achieve this, all gas companies must train and qualify their employees and equip them with the knowledge, skills and ability to perform tasks under normal and abnormal operating conditions. Emergency preparedness is vital to ensure the safety of the public, employees and emergency responders. How will your employees respond to a major emergency? Have you done enough to prepare your employees? These are questions that keep many of our members up at night.
At the request of several members, AEGIS Loss Control developed five Natural Gas Industry Emergency Sample Exercises that gas company personnel can access on our website. These exercises can supplement your company’s training and emergency preparedness programs to help simulate a major emergency and test employee ability to apply company policies and procedures in a controlled environment.
The exercises can be conducted in a variety of settings, including emergency exercises, safety meetings, apprentice and refresher training sessions, and gatherings with emergency responders, contractors and other stakeholders.
Purpose of the Exercises
The purpose of these exercises is to review and apply the member company’s policies and procedures in a controlled environment to assist in the preparation and training of all employees who may be called upon to respond to a natural gas emergency.
Easy to Customize
These exercises are designed for the member to customize each scenario to meet their needs. Specific company policies and procedures can be reinforced throughout the exercise at the member’s discretion.
