Safety is our number one value
Our goal is for our pipeline and energy facilities to operate safely every day so that the public, our workforce and the environment aren’t affected by an incident involving our assets. Safety is, and always will be, our number one value.
Prepared for anything
With a goal of zero safety incidents at hundreds of facilities in three countries, staying prepared takes teamwork, co-ordination and an effective response plan. As part of that plan, in 2020 we conducted 170 emergency management program exercises across our entire network. 这些模拟使威尼斯电玩城手游自己的人员能够与当地的急救人员合作，磨练威尼斯电玩城手游的技能，并在不太可能发生的严重事件中制定通信协议.
Case study: Investing in emergency responders
We learned a lot from TC Energy’s professionalism and the way they conduct their exercises. [They’re] always a big factor in our control group meetings. Every time we have a meeting or emergency exercise in the town of Kapuskasing, they’re a very good contributing partner – for their expertise and resources.”

Emergency response plans
We believe every incident is preventable and continuously strive toward our goal of realizing zero safety incidents. While incidents are rare, being prepared to respond safely and rapidly is something we train for year-round.
Our priorities are always the safety of the public, landowners, first responders, employees and contractors and the environment. Our robust emergency response plans are focused on quickly and effectively responding to emergencies, mitigating any impacts that may have occurred to public safety, property or the environment in a timely manner.

While plans may vary depending on project and community needs, the basic elements of a plan will include hazard identification, 通知和应对策略，以确保威尼斯电玩城手游人员能够在紧急情况下有效应对.
How are these response plans developed?
All our Emergency Response Plans are developed through a detailed and comprehensive program specific to the project and communities in which we operate. 这包括在规划阶段从当地社区和应急人员那里收集必要和重要的反馈.
Who responds to pipeline incidents?
