Friday night lights… tailgating Saturdays… and of course, armchair quarterbacking Sundays. It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Now, imagine if your favorite football team had to play a championship game with the same gear they used a century ago.  The game would be drastically different—less safe, less efficient, and much  more dangerous. Similarly, the evolution of personal protective equipment (PPE) in the drilling industry has transformed its safety and effectiveness over the years. Just as football gear has advanced from simple leather helmets to sophisticated, high-tech armor, PPE has undergone significant changes to better protect our most valuable asset: our people. In the high-stakes game of drilling operations, PPE can be considered our “prevent defense” against various risks and exposures. From the protective helmets that guard against falling objects to the flame-resistant clothing that shields workers from intense heat, each piece of PPE plays a crucial r...

We accomplish this by promoting a culture where every employee is expected to Control And Remove Exposures (C.A.R.E.) both on and off the job. A Data-Driven Evolution of Safety Safety performance in the drilling industry is typically measured based on Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) recordable injuries and the active rig years worked without an OSHA recordable injury, lost-time, or disabling injury. We view these metrics as lagging indicators, which can and have encouraged the wrong behavior such as under reporting incidents. While we still track these metrics for reg...
