The Canada Energy Regulator (CER), will be hosting a virtual workshop to introduce and review recent updates to the pipeline safety regulations. This session will offer valuable insight into the regulatory changes and their implications for damage prevention practices.
Registration details are provided below, and we encourage everyone to participate.
The Canada Energy Regulator is holding a virtual workshop on damage prevention matters of interest on December 16, 2025 from 9:00 – 11:30 Mountain time.
This workshop is being held virtually to best enable attendance; it is important that operations personnel responsible for Damage Prevention have the opportunity to attend as they are the personnel most likely to be working with the regulations, data and other information to improve safety outcomes. Feel free to forward the invitation on to others in your organization or in the Damage Prevention community.
Microphones and chat will be open to enable discussion, please be prepared to participate.
The topics that we are planning to talk about at the upcoming workshop will include:
- Operation Beyond Design Limits (OBDL) and Damage Prevention
- Damage Prevention Safety Advisory SA 2025-02 – Safety and Damage Prevention Practices related to Large Scale Projects Near Pipelines
- DPR Contravention Data Overview
- Introduction to the new Virtual DPR Workshop web page.
If you have a subject that you’d like to present or discuss at this workshop or a future workshop, please contact Shannon Neufeld atShannon.Neufeld@cer-rec.gc.ca. The deadline for adding a session to this workshop is December 6th.
We look forward to seeing you!
