Safety Committee

 

MATECO Drilling Company's corporate Health and Safety Program covers the following topics for our employees.

Hazard communication

In-house substance abuse policy: Each employee is required to participate in our in-house program as required by the Federal Motor Carrier Division. All employees participate in random drug testing - the selections drawn and managed by an outside source.

Employee orientation and training: Each new employee follows a specific orientation and training program. This includes equipment orientation, equipment shut down systems, hazard recognition, daily safety wear and the completion of hazard report forms.

Medical monitoring: Each employee completes a yearly medical physical that includes a Physician's written opinion to work at hazardous waste sites and to wear a respirator. This physical also includes a DOT physical card.

40-hour (HAZWOPER) training 29 CFR 1910.120: Each employee that participates on work at hazardous waste sites is required to complete an initial 40-hours of training as referenced by 29 CFR 1910.120 and the required 8-hour safety training. All this training is completed by certified trainers and also includes First Aid and CPR.

MATECO Drilling Company provides its employees with the best available equipment. All of our drilling rigs are equipped with safety shut down brakes. Our Crew Chiefs complete a DAILY DRILL RIG INSPECTION FORM prior to the operation of the equipment. This form asks very specific questions about the condition of the drilling equipment and the related safety system. The form is dated and signed each day by the crew. Work cannot start unless all systems are fully functional.
