The GPA Midstream Safety Awards Program recognizes GPA Midstream member companies for outstanding safety performance in comparison among similar companies within the association's membership. U.S.-based and non-U.S. midstream operating companies compete and are recognized separately for the safety honors.
The four award divisions are determined by a range of midstream operational workhours, from less than 50,000 to more than one million.
The top two entries in each division are selected according to lowest "total cases incidence rate" (TCR), lowest "fatalities plus lost workdays incidence rate" (LTR) and highest "number of workhours reported."
