Pipeline Safety Regulations

Pipeline safety regulations are rules designed to ensure the safe construction, operation, and maintenance of pipelines that transport liquids and gases. These regulations aim to prevent leaks, spills, and accidents that could harm people, the environment, or property. They include requirements for regular inspections, emergency response plans, and reporting incidents. Agencies like the U.S. Department of Transportation oversee compliance, helping to ensure that companies follow safety standards to protect communities and natural resources from potential hazards associated with pipeline operations.
