Q

How to identify placards

A
  1. Purchasing from upland a pill or upstream at a safe distance to identify and or read the plaque or an orange panel use binoculars if available

56
Q

Natural gas pipe line incidents:

Never attempt to

A

Extinguish a gas fire; this could prolong or worsen incident causing another leak in a pipeline

Never attempt to operate pipeline valves, this could make the incident worse or make another leak

57
Q

Signs of gas pipeline rupture

A

Loud roaring or explosive sound

Or

Large flames and loud roaring noise

58
Q

For natural gas and pipeline rupture follow these steps

A

Immediately evacuate area

Move up wind away from flames and prevent individuals from entering

If no flames present do not start vehicles equipment or electrical Quitman like cell phones or pagers as this could start a spark

Abadon equipment used in the area

If Claims present driving away from the area is acceptable

Move far enough from the noise to allow normal conversation

From a safe location call 911

Notify pipeline operator

59
Q

Anyone of these could indicate a suspected gas pipeline leak

Dust or dirt flying out from the ground or

Discolored dead vegetation above pipeline right away

60
Q

Considerations for establishing protective action distance for gas pipeline leak

A

Type of product, Sour vs sweet
Pressure of pipe
Timing of valve closure by utility(quickly for automated Valse/longer for manually operated valves

Dissipation time of gas and pipe once valves are closed

Heat factor of natural gas

Local variables such as climate weather when’ population density demographics and fire suppression methods available

Nearby building construction/ density

Wildland urban interface

Natural and manmade barriers(highway)

61
Q

Liquefied pipelines (pretoleum and hazardous liquid pipelines). Two important things to consider

A

Never attempt to extinguish flame before shutting off supply as this can cause formation of explosive mixtures

Never attends operate pipeline valves this kid prolong or worse in the incident or cause another pipeline leak

62
Q

Signs of liquid pipeline rupture

A

Loud roaring hissing or explosive sound or

Large flames and roaring noise

Hissing is keyword
