Abstract: The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA) Is an integral part of the gas transmission business today. I personally became acquainted with this act In the fall of 1971 when I was appointed to a committee to inspect a portion of our properties and practices relative to compliance with the requirements of OSHA. OSHA came into being to regulate and standardize occupational safety and health practices in Industry. There were five target industries with accident records that focused attention on the possible need for such an act. These industries were (1) Longshoring, (2) Roofing and Sheetmetal, (3) Heat and Meat Products, (h) Mobile Home, and (5) Lumber and Wood Products. As you can see, the Gas Transmission Industry was not Included and we know that there was no need because our accident record, as an Industry, has always been one of the best. However, no industry is exempt and it has been necessary for all industries, large and small, to examine their facilities and practices in light of OSHAs requirements.
