Benchmark: Pipeline Safety Modernization: PHMSA’s Proposed Repair Criteria for Hazardous Liquid and Gas Transmission Pipelines

Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from taking the course on PHMSA’s proposed repair criteria for hazardous liquid and gas transmission pipelines. In a few minutes, you’ll see where your understanding is strong and where the course can save you time, cost, and rework.

What this benchmark helps you gauge

• Why the proposal matters now: the shift from depth-only rules to engineering-based, risk-focused decisions
• Operational impact: unified response schedules, temporary pressure reductions, and planning trade-offs
• Technical readiness: using FPR/PFP, dent ECAs, and validated models without over- or under-reacting
• Data and documentation: closing TVC record gaps and aligning material properties with evaluation models
• Voice in the process: when and how stakeholder comments can shape the final rule

What you’ll get

• A quick snapshot of your current decision-making approach and blind spots
• Clear signals on whether the course will help you reduce unnecessary digs, improve safety margins, and streamline compliance
• If you’re already confident, use the course to validate your approach and collect concrete tools, examples, and references

Time: about 5–7 minutes. No prep needed. Not graded.
