​​​​Q1: What is Control Room Team Training and why do I need it?
This course is designed to meet PHMSA’s required Control Room Team Training rules (49 CFR 195.446(h)(6) & 192.631(h)(6)), inspired by the Marshall, MI incident. It equips your control room personnel to perform at their best under normal, abnormal, and emergency situations — and ensures you’re audit-ready at all times. Beyond compliance, this training helps prevent the kind of pipeline incidents that can cause environmental damage, community impact, and operational shutdowns. When teams communicate better in emergencies, everyone wins.
​

Yes — the SCORM course plus facilitator notes for required tabletop exercises fully address PHMSA’s CRM rule (49 CFR 192.631 & 49 CFR 195.446) and FAQ H.07. We even map each course section directly to the regulation so you can show compliance quickly during audits.
​

PHMSA typically expects:
-
Pipeline Controllers, Leads & Supervisors
