Whether accidental or non-accidental, hazmat leaks and spills can be catastrophic, but emergency response kits provide a needed safety net for first responders

The natural gas meter may be the textbook example of something that is said to be “hidden in plain sight.” Every structure – from house to hospital and grocery store to commercial warehouse – that uses natural gas as the feedstock for its furnaces, stoves or water heaters has at least one of the (usually) gray boxes bolted to its exterior.

America’s drive to remove its dependence on foreign energy sources significantly relies upon a safe and affordable conversion to natural gas. Public and private fleet vehicles continue to migrate to the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG) as this cleaner-burning fuel offers lower fuel costs and lower emissions.
