The following steps can help ensure a successful response to transmission pipeline incidents:
- Make sure your dispatcher informs [your utility name here] or the transmission line operator of the event and requests appropriate assistance.
- Upon arrival, assess the scene, and confirm the pipeline location and fuel.
- Work together with other responders to stay out of harm’s way and secure the area.
- Rescue and protect the public through a combination of evacuation and sheltering in place.
