Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is a U.S. government agency responsible for ensuring the safe transportation of energy products like oil, natural gas, and hazardous materials. It establishes safety regulations, conducts inspections, and responds to incidents to prevent accidents that could harm people, property, or the environment. PHMSA's goal is to promote safe, secure, and environmentally responsible transportation of these materials across pipelines and other modes, helping protect communities and resources from potential dangers associated with hazardous material transport.
