Ohio Natural Energy Institute

Yesterday, we presented at the Appalachian STEPS Network August Meeting!

We talked with STEPS members and producers about handling hydrocarbon liquids safely and did a hazard review with demonstrations.

The Appalachian STEPS Network is one of 18 National STEPS Network chapters across the US. They are a group of Health, Safety, and Environment related professionals who work to improve performance in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

On Monday, we had a full class of 40+ for a GOSAFER Workshop at Salt Fork State Park!

All of the participants were part of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Orphan and Abandon Well Plugging Program. Those in attendance ranged from inspectors and geologists to environmental and health safety engineers.

We provided information regarding safety topics like hazard recognition, safety data sheet, lockout and tag out procedures, and Emergency Response Guidebook review.
