Kenny Compton
Senior Service Technician Radford, VA
“We’re the proactive guys,” explains Senior Service Technician Kenny Compton. “We’re out
there clearly marking our buried gas lines, so that they don’t get cut by homeowners or com-
mercial excavators laying electric, water or sewer lines. Field employees are required to be
qualified to meet federal Operator Qualification rules. We can’t perform any task—marking
a gas line, setting a gas meter, turning a customer’s service on or off, responding to a gas
or carbon monoxide leak, nothing—unless our training and OQ are up to date.”
We’re out there to protect life
and property. When we meet
customers or go into their homes,
safety is our No. 1 concern.
