First Response

Environmental protection is a core priority at Enbridge. The company devotes significant time, energy and financial resources to ensure we prevent accidents before they occur.

If an incident should occur, Northern Gateway will be there quickly to control, contain and clean up.

Key elements of our strategy are:

  • Extensive training of personnel including real-time first response drills
  • First response drill review and continuous plan improvement
  • Placement of first response equipment in strategic locations at sea and on land
  • Training of personnel in local communities to assist in response activities
  • State-of-the-art modeling to determine likely areas in need of first response
  • Rigorous maintenance to ensure equipment is in top working condition
  • Communications plan outlining key local, provincial and federal officials with Northern Gateway contact responsibilities
