Reports, safety recommendations and responses availability. [National Transportation Safety Board]
The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) announces the availability of aviation, marine, highway, pipeline, and railroad reports, safety recommendations, and responses. Among the recommendations are the proper use of the ''one-call'' notification system and accurate marking of underground facilities prior to excavation and other projects to avoid accidents such as the explosions and fire in the Sector Cana of Bayamon, Puerto Rico, following ignition of gasoline that had leaked from a break in an 8 inch refined products pipeline, which had been struck and ruptured by excavation equipment. Responses by the U.S. Materials Transportation Bureau and Columbia Gas of Virginia Inc., to the recommended NTSB operation and maintenance program for yard and service lines and use of the ''one-call'' notification system, respectively, as well as by the U.S. Federal Railroad Administration regarding the benefits of speed and event recorders and emergency information on waybills in the transportation of such hazardous materials as anhydrous ammonia are discussed.
