COMMITMENT TO SAFETY, HEALTH
& ENVIRONMENT
According to the National Transportation
and Safety Board, pipelines are the
safest and most economical way to
transport products. We are committed to
the safe operation of our pipelines in your
community. Our pipelines are designed,
installed, tested, operated and maintained
in accordance with all applicable federal
and state requirements. CenterPoint
Energy maintains its safety record with
routine inspections, corrosion protection,
maintenance and testing programs,
employee training, integrity management
programs, and a public awareness
program.
If a gas pipeline emergency were to
occur, CenterPoint Energy personnel
will work directly with local emergency
responders. Our priorities at the scene
of a pipeline emergency are the same
as yours - protect people, property and
the environment. CenterPoint Energy
field personnel are trained in Incident
Command Structure (ICS) and familiar
with how to work with local responders
within the ICS framework. CenterPoint
Energy personnel will restrict the flow
of gas and implement other operating
actions as needed to minimize the impact
of the emergency.
CenterPoint
has
committed
the
necessary resources to fully prepare
and implement its emergency response
plans and has obtained through contract
the necessary private personnel and
equipment to respond to the maximum
extent practicable, to a “worst case”
discharge or substantial threat of such a
discharge.
Public safety officials and other
noncompany personnel should not
attempt to operate pipeline valves.
Improper operation of pipeline valves
can cause other accidents to occur.

Pipeline markers are placed along the
pipeline route to indicate the approximate
location of the line and to identify where
the pipeline intersects with a street,
highway, railway or river. Markers display
the material transported in the line, the
name of the pipeline operator and an
emergency telephone number.
