Corporate Safety Policy

People are our most important asset-- their safety, our greatest responsibility. In conjunction with this statement, the safety of our employees is a major consideration in the operation of our rigs. Management and supervisors will be accountable for the safety of the employees working under their supervision, and will be expected to conduct operations in a safe manner at all times.

The Company will provide and maintain safe and healthful working conditions for all employees at all times. It will provide safe working equipment, necessary personnel protection -- and, in case of injury, provide the best available first-aid and medical services.

No job is so important that we cannot take the time to do it in a safe manner. All Company personnel, regardless of position, have authority to suspend any operation, which in their opinion constitutes a hazard to the life and health of any person. They also have authority to suspend any operation which may present a hazard to the environment or to surrounding communities.
