This month, I would like to talk about training, one of the most important aspects of an effective safety program.
We all want to have a safe and productive work force. The only way for drill crews to be both safe and productive is for them to have the best understanding of the work practices, processes and governmental standards applicable to the task at hand. In drilling and pump work we deal with overhead lifting, rotating shafts, pinch points, high pressure lines, extreme noise, high voltage, falls, confined spaces and excavation work. With all of these hazardous on our jobsites, it becomes unrealistic to think our workers can safely perform all of their tasks safely and efficiently without some sort of focused training.
