pipeline safety
Pipeline safety refers to the measures and practices implemented to prevent accidents and leaks in pipelines that transport liquids and gases. This includes regular inspections, maintenance, and monitoring systems to detect any issues early. Ensuring the integrity of pipelines helps protect the environment and public health.
Regulatory agencies, such as the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), set safety standards and guidelines for pipeline operators. These regulations cover construction, operation, and emergency response procedures, ensuring that pipelines are built and maintained to minimize risks associated with transporting hazardous materials.
