“After I leave the house for work each morning, the first thing that comes to my mind is
safety,” says Class I Welder Javier Aguirre. “The most important thing for me on a daily
basis is to prevent any pipeline events that would endanger my life, the lives of my crew-
mates or the community where we’re working. We check the system pressure maps and
work closely with the engineering team and our supervisors to make sure we follow the
safest procedures. We take great pride in our work.”
Besides welding safely, we clear
the area of any flammable brush
or debris that could catch fire.
Checking the conditions
around a work site protects everyone.
