At Plants & Goodwin (P&G), we are thrilled to share the news of our recent achievement: 1,000 injury-free days. This milestone represents an extraordinary accomplishment for our oil well services company and is a testament to our unwavering commitment to prioritizing safety in everything we do.
This achievement holds immense significance for us. It highlights the dedicated efforts and hard work of our employees, as well as the transformative impact of our safety culture. Reaching 1,000 injury-free days showcases our ability to create a safe working environment that safeguards the well-being of our workforce.
The Importance of Safety Culture in the Oil and Gas Industry
Safety culture plays a vital role in ensuring worker well-being and environmental protection. It encompasses the shared values, beliefs, attitudes and practices that are aimed at promoting the safety and well-being of employees, the environment and the public in the oil and gas industry.
Historically, the oil and gas industry, including oil and gas service companies, often placed greater emphasis on job productivity rather than safety. P&G acknowledged the need for a significant shift in priorities. Our mission is to continue to shift the focus from the old standard policies and operating procedures to building a culture where our employees focus on working safely and not taking unnecessary risks for the sake of efficiency or job progression. The goal has always been zero incidents. At P&G, we’re making that the new normal.
