Safety is much more than a program, more than a set of policies and procedures. Safety is a philosophy in action. The safety program at Anderson Drilling is a value-based process that permeates the entire company. Our goal is continual improvement through ongoing management of the safety process

• Accountability and safety metrics focusing on loss prevention efforts are part of the performance review process. Examples of such safety metrics include management completing periodic job site audits and attending toolbox talks.
• Hazard identification and control starts at the pre-bid phase and continues throughout the job until its completion.
• At Anderson Drilling safety has no rank - employees are empowered to speak up about safety anytime, anywhere using the Speak Up/Listen™ process.
• Safety training is a dynamic part of the safety process. Ongoing safety training includes our injury and illness prevention program (IIPP), PPE, fall protection, trenching and excavation, mobile equipment safety, avoiding pinch points, First Aid, OSHA 10 Hour, Hazwoper, among others. All new employees go through a new hire safety orientation before going to the field.
• Our Safe Plan of Action is a daily crew based job safety analysis lining out tasks and associated hazards and the means to avoid or control these hazards.
• Incident management includes Apollo Root Cause Analysis. We believe incident management should not only mitigate the effects of an unwanted event, but prevent recurrence.
• A safety reward program is in place at the district level. Eligibility for the award is predicated on 100% adherence to set loss prevention measures. An individual-based safety reward program is also in place.

Using both our Vision Statement as well as the ANSI Z-10 standard, at Anderson Drilling our goal is continual improvement in the safety and health processes. We are constantly looking for ways to eliminate incidents and injuries. Our efforts are paying off in working more hours with fewer incidents – however - our goal is zero incidents through continual improvement.

In addition to numerous commendations from General Contractors, we have also received two important industry awards: the Safety Award for industry contractors working more than 100,000 hours, and the International Association of Foundation Drilling (ADSC-IAFD) Most Improved Safety Program Award.

One objective measure of a company’s safety results is their Experience Modification Factor. Ours is currently an outstanding .59%. In addition to the drilling expertise we bring to a job, we also provide a safety conscious work force committed to continuing our strong safety tradition
