Abstract: As representatives of major gas distribution companies, you obviously are interested in safely. No gas company can afford to promote individuals who are indifferent toward safety. Surely there is no worse news that can befall a gas company than to suddenly hear that, because of a leak. there was an explosion and several people were killed. There seems to be general agreement in the gas distribution industry that plastic pipe is indeed a very safe way to transport natural gas. For instance, there are no inherent corrosion problems which plague steel pipe. However, the plastic pipe producers maintain that plastic gas pipe is a safe way to distribute gas only if all the proper fusion methods have been observed. Our company has been appalled frequently at the techniques we have witnessed in the field which indicated ihat some gas companys personnel were obviously untrained in the fusion of plastic pipe. Who would consider having anyone else than a qualified welder working on steel lines? By the same token, who could logically consider having anyone but a qualified joiner working on plastic lines?
