Canadians will can now read inspection reports on Canada’s pipelines. The National Energy Board is making its safety reports available online starting immediately on its website.

Chris Loewen, vice-president of operations says the NEB completes about 150 pipeline inspection reports each year.

He notes the reports posted online will be posted in a manner void of too many technical terms to allow the general consumer to digest the information.

Industry is aware of the move, but Loewen says it’s hard to gauge just how enthusiastic they are about it.
