DRESSER-RAND'S FIELD SERVICE TEAM  in The America’s Gulf Southwest (GSW) Region is “walking the talk” when it comes to safety – literally. They not only discuss safety, they systematically practice it each and every day, and with impressive results: they’ve worked more than one year without a recordable injury.

GSW Field Service regional manager, Jeff Krasnow, is proud of his team and reminds them that this outstanding achievement is the result of a team effort by all employees. “I am proud of everyone and of the difference I see in the field and in offices, both in ownership of and attitude toward safety. It’s been proven time and again that without employee involvement, accidents are difficult to prevent.”

Joe Megginson, Dresser-Rand’s chief safety officer worldwide, added that reaching this level of safety is not easy, but Dresser-Rand proved it is achievable. It’s made even more difficult by the often challenging and varied environments in which the Field Service team works because of the nature of their work. The equipment they work with is heavy and bulky, and often tightly configured. Not to mention the extreme weather conditions they’re sometimes up against. The team is also basically subjected to every type of oil and gas and petrochemical process you can imagine.  download complete story PDF→
