SSE PROGRAM

SAFETY AUDITS & OBSERVATIONS
Mitchell Energy Services utilizes several methods to gauge our safety programs and to identify strengths as well as areas that need improvement. Safety personnel regularly conduct safety audits at jobsites and supervisory personnel complete observation reports. Employees also report their observations using report cards to identify safe as well as any unsafe behavior they observe on the jobsite. The information submitted on these reports is then used to evaluate how we are performing.
SAFETY INCENTIVES
Working safe is every employees goal on Mitchell Energy Services, LLC projects and we make every effort to recognize those employees who participate in helping us to achieve our mission. Safety incentive awards are regularly given to employees for their hard work and effort in helping us to achieve our mission of working safely.
JSA PROGRAM
Mitchell Energy Services has an established JSA Program in place. Each crew is required to complete a documented JSA daily for the tasks they are preparing to perform. For tasks that are regularly performed, pre-written JSA’s have been developed which identify the steps, potential hazards, consequences, mitigation measures and tools required. These pre-written JSA documents serve to ensure that every portion of completing the task has been included so that the task may be completed as safely as possible.
SAFETY MEETINGS
Safety Meetings are held weekly on every project. Every employee assigned to the project is required to attend. Daily meetings or “tailgate” safety meetings are incorporated into discussing the JSA with each individual crew both at the beginning of the workday as well as before each new task is performed.
