In case of a pipeline emergency
Gas pipeline leaks or other problems are rare. But the possibility still exists, whether by human error or as a result of a natural disaster, so GGL is prepared. We designed the pipeline system with valves that will shut off the flow of natural gas (automatically or by remote activation) upstream and downstream from a leak or potential problem.
We have also developed emergency preparedness plans for a coordinated plan of action in case of emergency.
Learn to recognize signs of trouble. You may be able to detect a gas leak from a pipeline by sight, smell or sound.
| Sight | You may be able to see vapour in the air. |
| Smell | As a safety feature, mercaptan is added to gas to give it a distinctive rotten egg smell, so it’s easily detected. |
| Sound | You may be able to hear the hissing sound of gas leaking. |
If there are signs of gas dissipating into the air:
Dos
- Turn off machinery and eliminate all sources of ignition.
- Shut off vehicle engines.
- Evacuate the area, including buildings. Move people upwind if possible.
- Prevent vehicles and bystanders from entering the area.
- Call the fire department if there is a danger of fire.
- Avoid contact with any natural gas escaping from the pipeline.
- Warn people in nearby buildings, as gas might enter through drains if the break or leak is underground.
Don’t
- Turn electrical switches on or off.
- Operate any machinery, including vehicles.
- Attempt to make temporary repairs or operate any underground gas valves.
