Safety Culture
Gulf Coast Pipeline Services has a strong safety culture. Everyone at GCPS feels responsible for safety and pursues it on a daily basis via the following phrase:
The SAFE Way is the ONLY Way.
Every organization in the oil and gas industry that experiences success in safety starts with a set of safety performance measures, and GCPS is no different.
GCPS employees go beyond “the call of duty” to identify unsafe conditions and behaviors, and to intervene to correct them. This is evidenced by our 15+ year history of no recordable accidents in the organization. Safety is a CORE VALUE of GCPS and is an integral part of the way we do business.
Training
Safety, Health and Environmental Training:
General HSE training is performed through a variety of avenues including general lecture, computer-based training, tailgate safety meetings, personal one-on-one interaction, and multi-media delivery via e-mail attachments to supervisors on jobsites to be delivered to their crews. GCPS is a member of the Pipeline Testing Consortium for drug and alcohol testing.
Safety Practices
Pre-Shift Safety Meeting
The safety meeting is focused primarily on two activities: The Tailgate Safety Meeting topic and the development and review of the Job Safety Analysis.
Tailgate Safety Meeting Topic
The Tailgate Safety Meeting is where various topics of safety concern, both job related and off-the-job, are discussed before every day’s job activities begin.
Job Safety Analysis
The “JSA” is completed by the jobsite supervisor while receiving input and feedback from his crew in a group setting.
