Natural Gas Utilities Lead Charge on Achieving Exemplary Employee and Vehicular Safety

Washington, D.C. - The American Gas Association (AGA) is pleased to recognize a number of natural gas utility and transmission companies for their outstanding commitment to employee and vehicular safety in 2019. The selection was based upon the companies that submitted their annual safety statistical data for calendar year 2019, based upon OSHA Recordable Injuries and Illnesses and Reportable Vehicle Incidents.

‘Now more than ever it is important to recognize our industry’s commitment to the safe delivery of natural gas,’ said AGA President and CEO Karen Harbert. ‘Promoting safe practices and a safety culture that holds the protection of customers, communities and employees at the highest level is essential, and our Safety Award recipients are leaders in upholding and exemplifying this at its best. I applaud their staunch commitment to safety and congratulate them for this outstanding recognition.’
