Happy New Year/Happy New Hire
Greetings and salutations! I am excited and optimistic for the New Year. Each year everyone shares this common enthusiasm to celebrate the previous year if the safety performance has been deemed successful and injury free. Conversely, if the company has experienced a less-than-stellar performance, there is still much relief that comes from embracing a needed […]
Safe Tidings
This is my favorite time of the year! It is every safety person’s “reward time” of the year! No, not necessarily the monetary reward, but rather the reward of employees enjoying their families and friends. Another untold bonus is being able to return to work for some Holiday Relief. As I write about the different […]
Falling is for the Birds
Falling in love is okay. “Falling,” in of itself, is for the birds. Fall is my favorite season. I have mentioned slips, trips, and falls in several previous article. In case you have not figured it out, this month I am singularly focusing on falls, falling, and fall protection. One of my previous articles was […]
Winning With LO/TO
Greetings and salutations! Or as we just say in Texas, “Hello again!” Every year, regardless of the industry, numerous people are killed each year by not practicing Lockout Tagout, also known as LO/TO, not LOTTO.

So they didn’t have the […]
Something So Simple!
Here lately, I have been reminiscing about my own trials and tribulations throughout my career regarding safety and the oil and gas industry. One of the key reasons I went into safety was the constant loss of life and limb. To this day, the highways are still the most dangerous thing we do as an […]
The Life of a Safety Man
Back in 1971, I started working in the oilfield. It was in the summer after graduation from high school that I started as a roughneck. Yep, I worked lead tongs on a “triple.” It had 3 (quiet…sarcasm) Waukesha engines powering that rig. It was a deep hole triple (3 joints of pipe in a stand), […]
Safety Man Puts out Fire; News at 10!
As I was leaving my office that was downtown, and going to an adjacent building, I looked over by the smoking area outside, and there was a medium-sized fire! Being the safety professional I am, I assessed the situation. It appeared to be a fire in the plastic 5 gallon bucket used for cigarette butts. […]
Be Prepared
In view of recent events of snow-mageddon that we all recently experienced in Texas, there arises the issue of being continually prepared. Any safety person worth their weight should play the “what if” game continually, as should anyone in any other position in the petroleum gas industry. When it comes to operations, safety, accounting, investments, […]
