The OGA celebrated the ninth annual Natural Gas Utility Workers’ Day on March 18, 2024 at the Ohio Statehouse. Member companies and their utility workers were joined in celebration with Lt. Governor Jon Husted, Vince Parisi of Columbia Gas, Amy Spiller of Duke Energy, Congressman Troy Balderson, State Representative Bill Seitz, and PUCO Chair Jenifer French to spotlight natural gas workers’ role in providing Ohioans with safe, reliable and affordable natural gas service every day.

 

THANK YOU for your tireless dedication and hard work! 

 

Natural Gas Utility Workers’ Day, established by the American Public Gas Association in 2015, is intended to build public awareness about the hard work done by the employees of natural gas utilities and educate residents on the environmental, safety and cost benefits of using clean, reliable and affordable natural gas. It is celebrated March 18 to commemorate the date of a 1937 incident in New London, Texas, that led to the widespread odorization of natural gas and an increased emphasis on safety.
