ENVIRONMENT HEALTH & SAFETY
Trinidad has made safety a focus in all aspects of its operations. In addition to protecting the well-being of employees, a safe workplace increases employee efficiency and prevents costly downtime from injuries as well as worker’s compensation and other claims. Trinidad fosters a safe work environment through our safety program, which includes training for employees, regular maintenance of equipment and routine safety inspections.
As part of Trinidad’s continuing emphasis on safety, it employs a Safety Manager who reports to senior management and has direct access to Trinidad's President.
With Trinidad drilling throughout the four western provinces and the Northwest Territories, it is imperative that consistent safety principles are upheld. To achieve this goal, regular on-site safety meetings and training seminars are held to ensure that all personnel are kept informed and that everyone within Trinidad continues to work toward exceeding all applicable regulatory and safety requirements.
Trinidad supports efforts to minimize the impact of its operations on the environment and is responsive to the concerns of government, the general public and its employees regarding its activities.
Environmental protection measures have been incorporated into Trinidad's regular procedures for equipment, site inspections and waste disposal and Trinidad promotes the use of environmentally friendly products.
Trinidad's operating practices comply with provincial standards for oilfield waste management. These standards are communicated to its personnel to ensure that they are aware of such standards as well as Trinidad’s expectations with respect to the environment.
The well servicing division is committed to performing its services in a safe manner. The well servicing division has successfully achieved and maintains its Certificate of Recognition for safety, an industry certification administered by CAODC.
The well servicing division has established a safety committee with senior management representation to ensure compliance to industry standards. All personnel are provided training which encompasses equipment operation, hydrogen sulphide safety certification, dangerous and hazardous goods training and first aid. An employee safety program is also in place to reward and monitor safety performance of the service rig division.
The well servicing division and its employees are also trained to comply with Trinidad’s operating practices with respect to waste management. All provincial standards regarding control of fluids, fuels and emissions are adhered to; compliance with these standards is monitored on an ongoing basis by Management.
In addition, Trinidad protects its shareholders and the financial position of the company by carrying public liability insurance. This provides coverage for damage to, or destruction of, company owned assets and the replacement or repair of those assets at the company’s replacement costs.
