Abstract: Safety and health laws are really not new to industry, but until the new Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) was enacted, theyve been on a stateby- state basis. Some states were stricter than others and most not very well enforced. Now, the federal government has set the laws, and safety and health take on a real meaning. You have to know all the ins and outs or face stiff fines and penalties. For many years the gas industry has set strict safety rules and regulations regarding their product and the safety of their workers. Many of these rules were derived from the American National Standards Institute guidelines which have been the basis for OSHA. We have found, however, new things in OSHA that we have had to comply with, and as a whole, these have been done. It is very seldom that I have the displeasure to read a copy of a citation that has been issued to a gas company. The ones that are issued are normally for failure to train or advise employees of the hazards involved in their jobs and have such training documented with signatures of each employee. I will get into the training aspect of the Act a little later.
