Learn more about natural gas safety
We’re proud to partner with firefighters, police officers and emergency management officials in our communities. We train hundreds of first responders each year so they know how to react during an emergency.
CoRE-EX Pipeline Safety Program
We partner with Paradigm Liaison Services, an industry leader in pipeline safety programs, to offer free, in-person training that is geared towards first responders, contractors, excavators, and public officials. These meetings explore pipeline safety
and are traditionally held in February and March. Visit oh.pipeline-awareness.com to learn more and register.
