Health, Safety and the Environment

Health & Safety – "Safely Delivering Results"

As our most valuable resource, our workforce is always placed first when it comes to protection from injuries and hazardous situations.

For that reason we have committed ourselves to the "zero accidents" philosophy.

It is a core belief at Mitchell Drilling Corporation that accidents and injuries are not inevitable, and we endeavour to work in a way which effectively manages the risks inherent in our industry.

This philosophy – apart from being the right and humane approach - is also in the best interests of our business and our clients.

With our employees consistently operating in a safe and secure environments, we see less down time, reduced staff "churn" and personnel confidently going about their work creating success for themselves and the projects they are working on.

The key planks to our Health and Safety Success are:

• Risk Management programs to identify, assess, and control risks.
• Systems that comply with various legislative requirements.
• Up-to-date equipment, properly maintained.
• Safe Work Instructions that are clear, documented and understood.
• Competent, professional, and trained personnel at all levels.
• Supervision which is consistent, supportive, and disciplined.
• Training that comprehensively covers drilling and technical competencies and safety systems.
• Good communication within the organisation, and with the client.
• Emergency Response Systems (ERS) that minimise any potential adverse impacts of an incident.

Environment - "Leave Nothing, Not Even A Footprint."

Mitchell Drilling Corporation has a long held stance on the importance of maintaining environment integrity – as such we always seek to minimise our impact on surroundings during and after conducting our operations.

We fully comply with a) the legislative requirements of the various countries and the jurisdictions in which we operate and b) our clients shared stipulation for preservation and remediation. So far as is possible, we seek to leave things as we found them, always taking into full account any heritage and conservation issues present.
