Safety Awards Program

 

SDI’s commitment to providing a safe work environment for all employees is demonstrated in our one safety goal:  Zero Incident Rate.  No phase of business is of greater importance than our employees’ personal safety.  SDI employs a full-time safety director (sswiger@shaftdrillers.com) and conducts annual refresher MSHA Part 48 training every January as well as additional job specific training.

At SDI, we recognize that all accidents are preventable.  As safety is the responsibility of every employee all of the time, we implement bonus and award programs to encourage safe work environments.

2007 SDI Safety Program Award Winner JAMES LASSIINGER, a supervisor for Coastal Drilling East, LLC, takes ownership of the grand prize, a 2007 Harley Davidson Customized 1200 Sportster.

2008 SAFETY PROGRAM AWARDS

Tier 1:    Every SDI employee that completes the calendar year with no on-the-job injury requiring off site treatment, and:

• no on-the-job injury requiring off site treatment, and
• no OSHA recordable MSHA reportable injury

is eligible for drawing to receive $10,000.

Tier 2:    Every SDI employee that completes the calendar year with no on-the-job injury resulting in lost time is eligible for a drawing to receive an all terrain vehicle.

Additional safety awards will be announced.

Bonus

SDI supervisors and hourly employees completing each quarter with no on-the-job injury requiring off site medical treatment receive quarterly bonuses.

SDI’s insurance experience modifier rate (EMR) has remained well below the national average and is indicative of our commitment to safety and health in everything we do. This lower EMR provides an advantage in bid applications and delivers a cost-savings to our clients.
