Pipeline Recommended Practices (RP)
The American Petroleum Institute has issued guidance to U.S. pipeline operators to improve public awareness of pipelines. The purpose of the guidelines, known as Recommended Practice 1162 or Public Awareness Programs for Pipeline Operators, is to reduce pipeline accidents, which are often attributable to digging by homeowners, contractors, and farmers. To see Recommended Practice 1162, 2nd Edition, please go to API's Incorporate by Reference website and register.

The intent of these definitions is to capture vehicle incidents which are deemed within the control of the company to prevent.
