Safety, Loss Control Program

• Safety, Loss Control Philosophy

Minimizing losses for injuries, environment, equipment or property, is the cornerstone of Cathedral Energy Services operational philosophy. Management is centered in its belief that accidents are preventable and the safety of employees, the general public and the environment is one of its greatest responsibilities.

Achievement towards creating a safe and healthy workforce is focused on empowering all personnel to fully participate in the Company’s safety, loss control programs. Striving to continuously improve the knowledge, experience and competency of its workers, management invites the participation of employees and consultants in the development process. Hazard assessments, job safety analyses (JSAs), management inspections, field safety meetings, and the right to refuse unsafe work are a few examples of the Company’s proactive measures to ensure a safe work place, whether it is in the field or in our facilities.
