July 2021 — Gas Department Message

An update from our safe driving team — the company is putting an emphasis on work area protection. There has been an increase of vehicle driving through our W.A.P. and into our work zones. The safe driving team is also looking at a mobile simulator, similar to what NJ Natural has, which could simulate all of our work vehicles including Kabotas and backhoes. Kabota Update — the company is still conducting the root cause investigation of the incident in Orange Gas where a Kubota was operating too close to an open trench and rolled over. No word on when we can use the Kabotas. Dump Truck incident in Southern Gas — much like the Kabota update, the Company is still conducting the Root Cause Investigation for the incident that happened in Southern Gas, where a dump truck was backing into the work zone and ran over a contractor working on Gas services.
