Responding if a Leak Occurs

If you have detected the signs that a leak may have occurred, you should take the following actions

• Leave the leak area immediately. Walk into the wind away from possible hazardous fumes.
• Do not touch, breath or make contact with leaking liquids.
• Do not light a match, start an engine, use a telephone (even a cell phone), switch on/off light switches or do anything that may create a spark.
• From a safe location, call 9-1-1 or your local emergency response number and the pipeline company. Call collect, if needed, and give your name, phone number, a description of the leak and its location.
• Warn others.
• Do not drive into a leak or vapor cloud area.
