ATCO – An Investment in Safety and Damage Prevention Artwork

The Safety Moment by Utility Safety Partners

In our modern culture, the safety moment has evolved as brief and casual conversations in which to share. They are the perfect time to bring up safety topics in a non-threatening (though potentially lifesaving) way. The Safety Moment Podcast is produced by Utility Safety Partners – a non-profit corporation that has been providing communication service between the digging community and the owners of buried facilities since 1984. Let’s talk about damage prevention, excavation safety, locating and marking, watching for overhead powerlines, and legislative matters to ensure contractors and neighbours can all do their work safely. Let's talk safety - it's always a good conversation.

ATCO’s natural gas system in western Canada is vast. 41,000 kilometres of distribution pipe; 9,000 kilometres of transmission pipe; through 300 communities and serving 1.2 million customers.

The responsibility to keep that infrastructure safe rests on a team led by Iain Stables.

In this episode Mike and Iain talk about the tools and programs ATCO uses today for each distribution and transmission, some of its homeowner safety programs, and some of the company’s history as one of the first in Alberta to launch a damage prevention program.

Guest: Iain Stables

Supervisor, Damage Prevention at ATCO Pipelines and Liquids.
