The Faces Behind a World Class Safety Milestone

Share This Post

While it is crucial for the right policies and systems to be in place, the fact is that ultimately safety records are delivered by people. As FIRST E&P celebrates the passing of the 5-million-man hour mark of Lost-Time Incident Free Operations in November 2022, the company does so with pride in the strong sense of personal ownership and responsibility displayed by all FIRST E&P employees towards maintaining a safe workplace.

In light of this, a key part of our celebrations to commemorate the milestone was a recommitment by our employees to continue to keep safety as a key priority in a bid to deliver the next 5 million Man-hours of operations with zero lost-time incidents.

We collected dozens of pledges from employees that show just how important and personal safety is to us as an organization.

See some pledges made by FIRST E&P employees below, as well as some pictures from the employee event held on November 4th to celebrate the delivery of the world class milestone.
