Some Board inspectors are also health and safety officers for the occupational health and safety of pipeline company field staff. These health and safety duties are usually combined with other inspections.
The NEB also monitors aspects of energy supply, demand, production, development, and trade which the federal government controls. The NEB reports to Parliament through the Minister of Natural Resources.
