Safety Program

SAFETY PROGRAM OVERVIEW

At Piceance Well Service, our objective is a safety and health program that will reduce the number of injuries and illnesses to an absolute minimum, not merely in keeping with, but surpassing, the best experience of operations similar to ours. Our goal is zero accidents and injuries.

Our safety and health program includes:

Providing mechanical and physical safeguards to the maximum extent possible.
Conducting a program of safety and health inspections to find and eliminate unsafe working conditions or practices, to control health hazards, and to fully comply with OSHA safety and health standards for every job.
Training all employees in good safety and health practices.
Providing necessary personal protective equipment along with instructions for proper use and care.
Developing and enforcing safety and health rules and requiring that employees cooperate with these rules as a condition of employment.
Investigating, promptly and thoroughly, every accident to find out what caused it, and correct the problem so it will not happen again.
Ensuring a drug and alcohol free workplace through pre-employment screening, reasonable suspicion, and random drug screening. Our employees understand that we have a zero tolerance policy in regard to drugs and alcohol in the work place.

We recognize that responsibilities for occupational safety & health are shared:

Our management accepts responsibility for leadership of the safety and health program, for its effectiveness and improvement, and for providing the safeguards required to ensure safe work conditions.
Supervisors are responsible for developing proper attitudes toward safety and health in themselves and in those they supervise, and for ensuring that all operations are performed with the utmost regard for the safety and health of all personnel involved, including themselves.
Employees are responsible for wholehearted, genuine operations of all aspects of the safety and health program – including compliance with the rules and regulations – and for continuously practicing safety and health while performing their duties.

With safety a core value, we nurture a culture that will protect our employees and everyone who visits our work sites. We pride ourselves on protecting people, property, and the environment. That is the commitment all of us at PWS make, to each other and our clients. Our Safety Program focuses on everything from preventative maintenance to accident prevention. It addresses the responsibility, accountability, and discipline that we all share and accept as the key to maintaining a safe, healthy, and productive workplace. We also utilize a hard-hat color-coding system, so every worker knows each other's level of experience.

At PWS, we strive to continually improve in both safety and quality by being innovative and bringing the most relevant information to our programs and challenging our people to be the best they can be in all ways of safety. Some of the key features of our safety program are:
