SAFETY

Even with adequate measures, accidents do happen. This is why we encourage our employees to always take notice of their surroundings and to take time to focus on improving safety measures an on accident prevention. Improving safety has a large impact on our daily operations.

The environmental safety and health team uses programs such as computer-based training modules geared toward OSHA compliance and monthly "Toolbox Training" sessions for operations employees in our ongoing effort to stay at the forefront of relevant safety procedures.

All Godwin Pump locations receive individualized support from our Lead Safety Auditor to ensure they are operating in full OSHA compliance. We Execute behavioral-based safety observations using job safety analysis (JSA). Employees observe each other at work and give feedback about safe or at-risk behaviors. This serves as a direct way of correcting any non-compliant practice before it becomes a habit.

8. Service diesel engines every 250 hours of running time.
