Bud's Offshore Energy (BOE)

Every day workers demonstrate that they want to do their jobs well, prevent accidents, and protect the environment.  Only a few workers are “Not My Job Award” candidates.   A bulldozer driver did the right thing in Colorado and the result is the fossil find of the century:

The idea to dig at Snowmass was sparked after a bulldozer driver stumbled upon what he believed to be the remains of a mammoth in the small town’s reservoir. The driver contacted the Denver Museum of Natural Science about his discovery, and the museum immediately sent up a team to investigate, uncovering a hidden trove of prehistoric remnants unlike any other.

While the mammoth fossils and the scientists are receiving most of the attention, the real star is the bulldozer driver.

Lately, we have heard a lot about offshore workers who made mistakes, and it’s important that we learn more about those mistakes so we can prevent their recurrence.  However, workers have the most at stake and are the people who are most committed to accident prevention.  We need to embrace this commitment by fostering a culture that allows workers to be safety leaders, not just implementers who follow directives from managers and regulators.
