EnLink’s emergency preparedness goes beyond mandated regulations. In the unlikely event of an emergency, we are prepared to activate our comprehensive emergency response plans and work closely with local responders to keep the public and our employees safe. We believe that a strong emergency response system begins with prevention and is amplified by continuous monitoring and preparation.
Drills, Exercises, and Readiness
We strive to maintain the experience, skills, and resources to appropriately respond to an emergency, should one arise. This level of preparedness helps protect our workforce and the communities in which we operate. We regularly engage and partner with local fire departments, emergency management officials, law enforcement officers, public officials, and planning agencies to review emergency response procedures and to conduct physical and tabletop drills that help align response planning and execution. We also communicate regularly with local first responders through routine in-person meetings, facility tours, and informational mailers.
In 2023, our employees collectively received over 10,000 hours of safety and emergency response training. We proactively create and maintain emergency response plans specific to our facilities and operations and conducted more than 20 safety drills in 2023 to help prepare our employees to respond to emergencies.
Emergency response systems should focus first on prevention, and thus we take the opportunity to learn from incidents. Incidents and “near misses” are screened through our incident investigation process, which includes contributions from multiple stakeholders across disciplines to determine causes and hazards, as well as the implementation of corrective and preventive actions. Our incident investigation process is an essential way that we empower our employees, reduce risk, and improve our processes.
