America to Celebrate 2nd Annual National Gas Utility Workers' Day on March 18
America will celebrate its 2nd annual National Gas Utility Workers’ Day on March 18, 2017. This day of recognition is a time when communities give recognition to the employees who provide one of their most valuable assets—their natural gas utility.
Gas Utility Workers’ Day occurs on March 18 because that is the date of the New London, Texas school explosion in 1937 that led to the widespread odorization of natural gas and an increased emphasis on safety.
This annual nationwide event is not only intended to build public awareness about the hard work done by the employees of natural gas utilities, but natural gas utilities across America will also educate residents on the environmental, safety and cost benefits of using clean, reliable and affordable natural gas.
