The PHMSA OQ Rule, designed to govern the day-to-day performance of an oil and gas worker, went into effect in 2002. New OQ FAQs were released on January 28, 2022 to provide guidance around complying with the legacy rule. While the FAQs don’t carry the weight of the existing regulations, they were released for a reason — to aid businesses in their quest for compliance.

A new rule recently released from PHMSA expands safety and reporting requirements for operators of gas gathering pipelines, including 425,000 miles of lines that were previously unregulated.

In today’s climate, a company’s position on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) can be just as important to its stakeholders as the services it provides.

Whether it’s a leak detected on a pipeline that led to a significant diesel spill, or an explosion that resulted in multiple employee injuries or even deaths, pipeline accidents wreak havoc on your business, your workers and the local community.
