Kos Oilfield Transportation is a safe company in a hazardous industry. Our record for lost time injuries
is consistently well below the standard for the trucking industry and below that
for the upstream oil and gas sector itself. We are also one of a small number of
oilfield haulers who have achieved COR certification under the Alberta Motor Transport Association protocol. We participate in safety audits above the legislated requirements and
routinely score very high on all external audits.
We take pride in our safety record and encourage responsible behaviour through:
| • |
Our Green Hard Hat program that alerts everyone on the jobsite
to new, less experienced recruits and fosters patience for learning |
|
| • |
Kos Oilfield Transportation complies with the industry standards set out in IRP 16, “Basic
Safety Awareness Training” |
|
| • |
We have instituted a financial incentive program that rewards good truck
drivers and ‘fines’ those with poor driving records |
|
| • |
All employees receive WHMIS, H2S, TDG, First Aid and other industry related training, and are tested on their understanding and application of relevant
concepts |
| • |
We follow up on all public complaints about our drivers and, when warranted
take remedial action |
| • |
Kos Oilfield Transportation employs dedicated Field Safety Supervisors to ensure
proper training and safe practices |
| • |
We provide employees with clear
guidance about power line safety and supply pushes with sonar height meters |
| • |
We make sure that every new employee spends an appropriate amount of time doing job shadowing to understand their job and the hazards associated with it. |
| • |
We are proactive about identifying and eliminating safety hazards; for
example, we voluntarily switched to rachet-style boomers at considerable
extra cost simply because they cause fewer injuries |
Actions like these prevent injuries to employees and damage to equipment. As
a result, Kos Oilfield Transportation customers can be confident that their jobs will be carried
out carefully and expeditiously.
