Safety

Protecting our workforce, our clients, and the general public from injuries and property damage is a core priority of our corporate philosophy.  Because of this a “safety first” policy has been integrated into all areas of operation and is put into practice by all Gregg personnel on a daily basis. We attribute a large portion of our overall success as a company to the significance we place on safety.  Our commitment to safety has allowed us to effectively manage the risks inherent in our industry, provide a safe, sensible, and productive work environment and consistently prevent injuries as well as control costs.

We consider a keystone of our success to be that our crews have been working as part of our team for periods much longer than most drilling contractors with an average of 6+ years, many for over 15 years. They are well trained in a range of site investigation and remediation techniques.

A key element of our ‘safety first” policy is the behavior based Health Monitoring & Safety Program we have implemented.  All Gregg employees receive training, including regular updates and refreshers. Gregg’s program is designed to give our team members the ability to:

1. Evaluate the safety issues for each job task they perform
2. Properly minimize site hazards
3. Respond properly to incidents should the need arise
4. Stop work when they believe or perceive unsafe work conditions exist
