Free Training Days Target Safe Handling of Super-Chilled Natural Gas Fuel
Fuel & taxes · Nov 3 · By Truker
A federal center devoted to liquefied natural gas safety is organizing a set of one-day learning events focused on proven practices for handling the fuel. Attendance costs nothing, with sign-up required beforehand, and the sessions will mainly take place on site, though some will stream online. The gatherings are meant to unite people from business, government, universities, and emergency response groups.
The points
- 1The sessions are open at no charge, but participants must enroll ahead of time.
- 2Each event fills an entire day and covers several practice-focused topics.
- 3Most meetings will be held face to face, while a few will also be available remotely.
- 4Pipeline regulator PHMSA created the sponsoring center in 2023 under a section of the 2020 PIPES Act.
- 5The center's job is to build federal knowledge, act as a library of recommended methods, and encourage cooperation among LNG participants.
Why it matters
The workshops give people who work with LNG, including those in fuel supply and transport, a free federally backed venue to exchange safety methods with regulators, responders, and researchers.
