Operational safety and reliability


Safety is not just a core value at Enbridge—it’s the foundation of everything we do. Proactively advancing the safety of communities, protecting the environment and ensuring the health and fitness of our systems will always be our top priority.

Leading the way in safe delivery

We invest over half a billion dollars and thousands of hours every year to maintain the fitness of our liquids pipeline systems in the U.S. and Canada. For the past 10 years, Liquids Pipelines has achieved an industry-leading safe delivery record of better than 99.999%—a record we’ve diligently maintained for the past decade. We continue to strive to achieve a perfect 10.

Our ultimate goal: Zero incidents and a perfect 10 in safe delivery

The way we see it, if it’s not safe it’s not sustainable. Safety isn’t just a core value at Enbridge—it’s the very foundation of our business. That’s why, as part of our sustainability commitments announced in late 2020, we set a goal of zero incidents, injuries and occupational injuries. So far, we’ve achieved a 25% improvement over the previous three-year average in total recordable incident frequency (TRIF) rate for employees and contractors.
