On Thursday, June 27, 2019, the Plumbing Foundation City of New York, Inc. was joined by Luke Monaghan and Peter Giasemis, P.E. from Consolidated Edison, Inc. (“Con Ed”) at a joint seminar called Yellow Book: We All Need to Know It. Mr. Monaghan and Mr. Giasemis spoke to Plumbing Foundation members about the recent changes adopted in April 2019 to Con Ed’s operating manual, the Yellow Book, including the new operator qualification requirements for New York City licensed plumbers and their employees to inspect and repair USDOT jurisdictional gas piping. The presentation, available here, provides a helpful overview of the relevant operator qualification changes to the Yellow Book.

The Plumbing Foundation thanks Mr. Monaghan and Mr. Giasemis, and all at Con Edison, for working with the industry on the operator qualification requirements. We look forward to the ongoing collaboration between the Plumbing Foundation and Con Ed.
