Service Company Rewards Employees’ Safety Consciousness

May 1, 2020 by PBOG

Nine Energy Service, Inc., announced in March that Matthew Vick of Marietta, Ohio, and Osbaldo Alcaraz Arana of Enid, Okla., each won a 2019 Ford F-150 XLT truck in Nine’s Truck Giveaway, which celebrates and recognizes employees’ commitment to safety. Thirty employees, each of whom demonstrated outstanding safety track records, qualified for a chance to win one of two free trucks.

Vick and Alcaraz Arana were presented with their new trucks at a ceremony that took place at Nine’s Midland facility on Monday, March 2. Vick works as a Completion Tool Specialist for Nine’s completion tools division in Marietta and has been with the company for nearly a year. Alcaraz Arana works as a Pump Operator for Nine’s coiled tubing division in Enid and has been with the company for two and a half years.

Employees were recognized for demonstrating safe work behaviors, such as stopping work when conditions were not safe, wearing required protective equipment, or identifying hazards.

“Nine takes pride in empowering a strong safety culture that values the highest level of safest practices and places our employees’ safety first, above all else. In fact, 2019 was our best safety performance in the history of the company with the lowest Total Recordable Incident Rate [TRIR] score to date,” said Ann Fox, CEO, Nine Energy Service. “Osbaldo and Matthew embody this culture of safety to the highest level, and this is our way of expressing appreciation for their commitment to taking care of their fellow employees, themselves, and the community while on the job.”
