Pipeline Safety in the U.S.
Pipelines Fuel America
Every day, over 2.5 million miles of pipelines silently and safely move energy around the United States, delivering energy to homes, businesses, and industry. Many of these pipelines are entirely underground, making them out of sight and out of mind for most Americans.
Safety First, Always
Across the U.S., tens of thousands of energy infrastructure workers construct, operate, maintain, and monitor the safety of our domestic pipelines, but they need the public’s help in ensuring that everyone remains safe while living, working, and recreating around energy infrastructure. The leading cause of pipeline incidents is from third-party damage during excavation. Damaging the protective coating, creating dents or cracks in pipelines can lead to immediate or future failure, allowing the significant flow of energy out of the pipe and into harm’s way.
Public Awareness
While pipeline incidents are rare, it's important to know where they are, how to safety dig around them (should you need to), and what to do if you suspect a leak. For this purpose, the Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration (PHMSA), promulgates regulations for the sharing of public awareness information, and has incorporated the First Edition (2003) of the American Petroleum Institute’s Pipeline Public Awareness Recommended Practice. Additionally, states publish rules for intrastate pipeline operators that may exceed the federal requirements. If you are interested, follow the links below to read the federal regulations and practices followed by all pipeline operators.
