Spectra Pushes Pipeline Safety Programs Industry-wide

Spectra, in partnership with The Mosaic Co., held a Gas & Pipeline Industry Training Roundtable Feb. 5-6 in Houston. The forum was held to share best practices in training and create a dialogue among industry leaders to better identify how gas and pipeline companies can enhance their training programs.

Spectra and Mosaic created the event to present findings from an industry-wide benchmark of gas training programs conducted by Mosaic. The purpose of the exercise was to identify strengths in training and opportunities for improvement, and to share information so the industry can ensure that all gas and pipeline companies offer the most comprehensive and effective training programs possible for employees.

Twelve organizations were represented at the roundtable: Atmos Energy, Baltimore Gas and Electric, CenterPoint Energy Midstream, Dominion East Ohio, Enbridge Gas Distribution, Kinder Morgan, National Grid, NW Natural, San Diego Gas and Electric, Southern California Gas (Sempra), Spectra Energy and Southwest Gas.
