PIPELINE INDUSTRY SAFETY TOOLS
API RP 1174 Provides a Resource to Improve Pipeline Emergency Planning, Preparedness & Response
• API Recommended Practice (RP) 1174 defines the elements for safe, timely and effective pipeline emergency efforts. API RP 1174 emphasizes:
- Increased focus on training and planning exercises - Improved communications & clearly defined roles during an incident - Regular evaluations of operations to identify and address risks
Comprehensive Emergency Management System
• API RP 1174 outlines a comprehensive emergency management system for ensuring management commitment, setting measurable planning and response goals and objectives, documenting procedures for emergency response actions, communicating emergency response roles and responsibilities across the organization, testing and evaluating performance, and implementing continual improvements
Complements Industry-Wide Integrity Management Tools
• API RP 1174 provides operators guidance for developing public and personnel safety plans to address:
- Hazard & risk assessment - Hazard zones - Equipment needs - Evacuation/shelter-in-place - Emergency notifications - Training verification - Medical services - Product information (SDS) - Air monitoring - Perimeter security
Risk-Based Planning
• Emergency response regulations require determination of a worst-case volume discharge with a description of the facility, scenario and required cleanup resources. API RP 1174 goes beyond regulatory requirements with additional planning for areas sensitive to releases below the worst-case volume scenario (i.e. population centers, water crossings, areas of environmental, historic or cultural significance)
Responds to NTSB Recommendation and PHMSA Advisory
• Coinciding with the release of API RP 1174, the pipeline industry is deploying a public service style campaign “The More You Plan” urge first responders, government agencies and operators to work together to address local concerns
