Abstract: I would like to discuss with you how companies may blend OSHA into their existing safety and health program. Through necessity, I will draw on the experience with the company I work for, Tennessee Gas Pipeline, and how we dealt with the OSHA law. As you all know, we are a nation of laws and in particular, the gas industry, with all the federal regulations with which we have to comply. Of course, we have lived with the Federal Power Commission for years and also the Pipeline Safety Act of 1Q68. More recently, we have the safety regulations under the Department of Transportation, the Construction Safety Act, Environmental Protection Agency, and of course, the Department of Interior and Coast Guard. Then in late 1970, the Occupational Safety and Health Act was signed into law. Like all previous federal laws, OSHA was recognized by our company as being here to stay. But, before we discuss how companies may comply with these new regulations, I would first like to briefly review how this law works, since there may be some of you who may not be too familiar with its functions. So if you will allow me, I will just briefly hit the main points.
