A Guide to the Pipeline Safety Regulations 1996

The Pipelines Safety Regulations replace earlier prescriptive information on the management of pipelines safety with an more integrated, goal-setting, risk-based approach encompassing both onshore and offshore pipelines.

They will affect: those who design, construct and operate pipelines for the conveyance of most fluids; those whose property pipelines cross; local authorities; and the public who work or who live in the vicinity of a pipeline.
