Safety

 

 

Working in the oil and gas industry in Alberta has always put employees at risk due to the nature of the work itself. Employees are required to lift heavy items, work with heavy equipment, climb heights, work on uneven ground, crawl in pipes, are exposed to harmful chemical on a daily basis, and are often required to work long hours. It is of the utmost importance that safety measures are updated and followed by each and every employee in the industry.

 

TRAINING

At Brandette Well Servicing Ltd., we ensure that all our employees are properly trained in every aspect of their job. Each employee is required to complete the necessary training (ie - H2S, WHMIS, First Aid, Ground Disturbance, Fall Protection, etc.), to ensure the safety of himself and the rest of crew. There is a zero tolerance for unsafe practices within our company.

 

EQUIPMENT

Equipment maintenance is completed on an ongoing basis to ensure our employees safety. Any equipment not operating at capacity is either repaired or replaced.

 

MEETINGS

Safety meetings are held every morning, and at that time possible hazards are identified so that employees are aware of any issues that may arise throughout the day. All employees are required to fill out incident/near miss forms throughout the day, in order to prevent a reoccurrence of a possible hazard for all rigs.

There is also an organizational wide safety meeting held once a month. All aspects of safety are explored, and hazards within the industry are discussed. Any incidents that had occurred within the industry are brought forward and preventative measures are developed to be implemented on each rig.

 

SAFETY PROGRAM

Brandette Well Servicing Ltd. has a safety program in place whereby employees receive rewards, both hourly and yearly. Once a year, a Safety Award BBQ is held at which time those employees that have worked accident free for the past year are recognized
