safety

We all share the same goal that safety is our top priority, and incidents and unsafe practices can and must be avoided. That is the primary reason we have an excellent safety record. Annually, our average for LWD, REC, DART and TRIR fall well below industry standards.

DAKKOTA

safety first

We encourage a “safety-first” mentality by reinforcing the message to existing staff and training each new employee to uphold safety standards and to follow procedures that encourage a safe working environment. When an incident occurs, we learn from it. We perform an in-depth investigation and take actions that will prevent future incidents. This may include re-training, a change in a process, or even purchasing new tools, guarding or equipment.

DAKKOTA

robust training

We engage our employees in a collaborative culture by creating ownership and pride. Here are several examples:

OSHA 30

All management obtains a 30 hour OSHA training certificate.

CPR/First Aid

All management receives a one day training certificate through a certified and accredited training institution.

LOTO

Technical staff are trained and authorized to perform LOTO. All team members are considered affected by LOTO and received LOTO orientation.

Material Handler Certification

Safety rules and expectations are taught through hands-on walk throughs as well as theory and practical training. There is a 90-day observation window before permanent licensing and material handler audits are conducted routinely.
