The GOAL survey, short for Gas Overall Awareness Level, measures safety awareness of natural gas among Los Alamos County community members. It also gives insight into the effectiveness of natural gas safety outreach efforts of the Los Alamos Department of Public Utilities (DPU).
A product of the American Public Gas Association, the survey is being conducted by an independent polling company. Natural gas customers and non-customers are being polled to determine their gas safety knowledge. Participants’ answers will be benchmarked and results will be used to ensure DPU is effectively educating the community on the potential dangers of natural gas, as required by Pipeline Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) Regulations 49 CFR 192.616 and American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice RP 1162.
GOAL surveying tools include:
- Automated calls from the phone number (505) 487-8155
- Call-in number for participant-initiated survey
- Online survey

The survey is scheduled to close by November 1.
