Public natural gas systems have one of the best employee safety records over many industries, in no small part due to ongoing emphasis on employee safety among APGA member systems. Celebrate and gain recognition for your system’s dedication to employee safety by applying for the 2020 APGA Safety Management Excellence Award! APGA is accepting submissions through June 19 at www.surveymonkey.com/r/2020ManagementExcellence.

This award is given to an APGA member system that consistently operates at the highest levels, clearly establishing the system as an achiever of excellence in the area of safety management. APGA has greatly simplified the application process with no more statistics, budget information or paperwork to submit. Simply tell us what your system does to promote employee safety that you have found particularly unique and effective. Please note the focus is on employee safety, e.g. occupational safety, not pipeline safety or public safety. While all of these are important, this particular award focuses on employee safety.

While only one system can win the award, the best ideas submitted will be shared with other APGA members throughout the coming year in Public Gas News, on the APGA website, and during APGA Operations and Safety Committee monthly conference calls. We encourage all members to submit ideas that will benefit all public gas systems.
To view the application and past winners of the APGA Safety Management Excellence Award, please go to www.apga.org/safety-management-award.
