Promoting positive safety cultures in the natural gas distribution industry
All employees, as well as contractors and suppliers providing services to American Gas Association (AGA) members, are expected to place the highest priority on employee, customer, public and pipeline safety.
COMMITMENT BY MANAGEMENT: A positive safety culture begins with the organization’s top leaders. Management must emphasize and demonstrate that the safety of employees, customers, the public and our pipeline systems is a value that is paramount. All decisions must take into account the importance of safety. For example, production, cost, and schedule goals should be developed, communicated and implemented in a manner that demonstrates that employee, customer, public and pipeline safety is an overriding priority.
