Environmental, Safety and Health

Safety and Health

The safety and health of our employees, customers and the communities where we operate is a focus in everything that we do. Protecting and responsibly managing natural resources in the areas we serve are an important component of ONE Gas’ corporate culture.

Our safety programs focus on preventing incidents:

• Behavior Based Safety – A customized, employee driven process designed to identify and gain insight to why risks occur through peer to peer observation. The program began in 2010 with approximately 700 employees and is being introduced across the company.
• Utilizing our Drive-Cam program to coach drivers and promote safe driving habits. This program began with the installation of vehicle-mounted video cameras in 50 of Oklahoma Natural Gas’ fleet vehicles. We have now fully implemented the program at Oklahoma Natural Gas and Texas Gas Service where more than 1,300 cameras have been installed.
• Throughout the year, we educate our 2 million natural gas distribution customers about natural gas safety and work closely with state agencies and local emergency responders to conduct training on how to respond to incidents involving natural gas.

Environmental Performance

We are committed to operating our pipelines and facilities in an environmentally responsible manner and on working to balance that environmental responsibility with sound business decisions and fiscal responsibility. We have implemented a number of conservation efforts across our operations and continue to implement new ways to monitor current resource use as a way to analyze potential areas for improvement.
