DOT Pipeline Compliance Workshops – October 17 and December 8, 2006

RCP will be hosting our very popular workshops on DOT Pipeline Compliance on October 17 in Houston, and December 8 in Park City, Utah (go figure). Join us for an informative, lively, and interactive workshop on DOT Pipeline Compliance. This workshop has been attended by hundreds of pipeline personnel, with excellent feedback. The workshop provides an overview of the DOT pipeline regulations, and is appropriate for people who are new to pipeline regulations, or who could use a refresher.
