Management Systems
Our business units apply management systems specifically adapted to their
activities and business needs. These systems focus our company's EH&S
objectives, improve worker safety, reduce adverse impacts on health and the
environment, and measure our progress. An outcome of these systems is
increased consistency of EH&S activities, closely tied to our business and
Corporate Social Responsibility objectives.
During the past year, we refined the scope and functionality of these
systems. A few examples illustrate this point:
- Liquids Pipelines revised its health and safety management system to align
with BSI 18001, an internationally recognized standard that sets up specific
requirements for developing comprehensive management systems;
- Gas Distribution integrated programs to address ergonomics, incident
investigation, hazardous waste management and the transportation of dangerous
goods; and
- Our U.S. Natural Gas Business installed Ops Environmental, a comprehensive
data management program. This data gathering, processing and administrative
system provides a thorough status tracking system for our system operators
and managers to meet all EH&S compliance tasks. By year-end,the program
was implemented at 77 facilities.
