Regardless of industry or work context, companies also bear responsibility for their immediate vicinity. They must strive to protect people and the environment from damage.
For this reason, we will inform you about safety measures and the proper behaviour in the event of incidents/accidents. Industrial accidents where certain substances are released that could result in serious hazards to people, the environment and property are referred to as incidents. Not every disruption of an operating area can also be referred to as an incident. Definition in the German Hazardous Incident Ordinance: An incident is an event, such as emission, fire or an explosion of larger scale, resulting from a disturbance of the intended operation in the field of operation covered by this Ordinance or its annexes, which leads immediately or later to serious danger or damage to property, inside or outside the operating area or facility, and which involves one or several dangerous substances within the meaning of the Hazardous Incident Ordinance.
ARG and RC2 do not operate any system covered by the German Hazardous Incident Ordinance; instead, they are subject to the country-specific legal requirements such as Federal Pipeline Ordinance (RohrFLtgV) and the Technical Rules for Pipeline Systems (TRFL) in Germany, the “Besluit externe veiligheid buisleidingen” (BevB) and NEN in the Netherlands and the Basiswet Pijpleidingen and corresponding decrees in Belgium. Modifications to laws, regulations and relevant rules and regulations are implemented in the short term.
Their purpose is to prevent impairment of public welfare, particularly to protect people and the environment against the harmful effects of installation, condition and operation of pipelines.
Through its own initiatives and in cooperation with technical service providers and authorities, we constantly adapt the extensive safety precautions in our factories and plants to the latest safety technology. This enables us to minimize risks for our employees and the people in the vicinity of our lines.
We ask you not to block the known emergency telephone numbers of the fire brigade and the police by asking questions. Please only use the telephone in the event of an extreme emergency and call the well-known emergency numbers.
- Police: 110
- Rescue service/fire brigade: 112

- Germany: +49 (0) 2365-49-5378
- ARG Belgium/Netherlands: +31 (46) 426 8140

seiSTARK e.V. – ARG supports a fantastic initiative by women for women!
This year, we are supporting seiSTARK e.V., a non-profit organisation based in Cologne, Germany.
It offers support and unbureaucratic help to socially disadvantaged women or those in need.
The members of the association and its supporters have one mission: to empower and support women!
In particular, they look after women who find themselves in difficult circumstances and want to change their situation.
Whether it’s their social background or personal misfortune, there are many reasons why women can find themselves in a seemingly hopeless situation.
With its five pillars of empowerment
Strengthening the personality,
increasing job opportunities,
promoting integration,
enabling education and
participation,
the organisation wants to encourage these women and give them new hope so that EVERY woman is able to lead a self-determined life.
The core activity of the association is the mentoring program, in which women in difficult life situations receive practical support and guidance from volunteer mentors.
We wish the members of the association continued success with this great concept and hope that their initiative will give courage and hope to as many women as possible. It’s great that we can make a small contribution.
Christmas donation 2023 to Arche Noah short-term facility and hospice for children, Gelsenkirchen
Once again this year, ARG is foregoing Christmas presents for its business partners and is instead supporting social projects that deserve great recognition and help. With this donation, we are supporting an institution that is unique in Germany and has been providing relief to families since 2001 by combining a hospice for children with life-limiting illnesses with a short-term facility for children with severe multiple disabilities.
<strong>Arche Noah short-term facility and hospice for children, Gelsenkirchen
“Haus des Lebens”</strong>
The facility sees itself as a “house of life” and this is also reflected in its premises and outdoor facilities. The facility enjoys a good reputation beyond the borders of the Ruhr area and even in the Rhine-Ruhr district. The combination of familiar and competent care with a qualified educational program plays a central role. Families appreciate the security of short-term medical care for acute illnesses and the accompanying medical care for hospice children in acute crisis situations.
ARG again refrains from giving Christmas presents to its business partners and instead supports social projects, which deserve great recognition and support.
A cherished tradition is not neglected this year either. ARG again refrains from giving Christmas presents to its business partners and instead supports social projects, which deserve great recognition and support.
The donation will receive an initiative that has been caring for the needy and their families for almost 20 years:
Stiftung Kreuznacher Diakonie
Tafel / Wohnungslosenhilfe, Idar-Oberstein
“Not all people have their daily bread and yet there is plenty of food.”
With this contribution, we support a foundation that cares for and supports people in need. The number of people in need has steadily increased over the years. Thanks to the generous commitment of many helpers, the Tafel provides 400 needy households with the most necessary supplies daily.
Children are our future – donation to support children and young people with cancer and their families
As in previous years, ARG again refrains from giving Christmas presents for its business partners and instead supports social projects, all of which deserve great recognition and support.
This year the donation will go to an initiative that has been caring for children and young people with cancer and their families for more than 20 years:
Weg der Hoffnung e.V.
“Children are our future.
Give the future a piece of hope
a bit of a smile. ”
We support an association that always offers affected children and relatives an open ear and advice with this donation. The association supports the indispensable search for bone marrow or blood stem cell donors through typing campaigns. It thus increases the chances of recovery for those particularly severely affected.
ARG supports low-threshold health care in Ludwigshafen and a project that takes care of “street children” in Mannheim
A cherished tradition will not be neglected this year either. ARG does not give Christmas presents for its business partners and instead supports various social projects, all of which deserve great recognition and support.
A year that demanded a lot from our society, the economy and each and every one of us. However, the corona pandemic has not only proven to be a particular challenge, but also an accelerator for innovation and change.
This year, the donation will be given to two initiatives that take care of target groups for whom it is generally more difficult to raise funds or who are particularly negatively affected by the pandemic situation:
Street-Doc Ludwigshafen
offer low-threshold health care
for socially disadvantaged groups and
Freezone
takes care of street children in Mannheim.
In any case, Corona has made life even harder for people on the street than it already is.
“For a good start in life: Enjoy learning and taking responsibility for others!“
For many years, the company ARG renounces Christmas presents for their business partners and instead supports various social projects, all of which deserve great recognition and support.
This year, the support association of the elementary school “Im Brömm” Gelsenkirchen receives the donation. For many years the school has run a school garden, in which the students grow healthy and delicious vegetables. This way they do not only learn about a balanced diet but also about the associated work.
In the integrative work with children, the teachers are now also supported by a therapy dog. This provides a new and effective way for the children to learn effectively and take responsibility.
