I am always keen to know their rig lift plans and how competent the chopper crew is, what plan they have for bad weather and managment plan. Also, their security management plan for the crew, in case there are ransome seekers near by or active war zones or tribal fights or gangs operating in the area.

Safety should be at the cornerstone of all field operations. Some main points to highlight: - Clearly outline your Site Health and Safety Plan (HASP). All field personnel and subcontractors should sign this. Make sure proper PPE and all site work are outlined in your HASP. Highlight these protocols in your proposal. -Highlight means of completing the work. How the site will be put back to current condition after work is completed? How underground utilities will be cleared prior to any excavation, boring, or subsurface work being completed. -Finally, make sure that you have a strong sense of safety in your proposal. Provide safety plan, credentials, training etc. if asked. When in doubt always hop on a call to discuss with Client.

Safety is paramount in mining, construction and oil or gas industry. A preshift safety discussion on associated hazards with respect to the day’s work is done . This is to bring to bear possible risks of the job and the controls put in place to arrest these risks. Though you responsible for your own safety on the job, you should also look out for your colleagues. A responsibility for all employees to correct, direct and monitor what each team member does. That’s the “UNBUNTU” principle at work. Employers must provide appropriate PPE to limit or protect workers from the risks cannot be eliminated by the controls in place.

Safety generally has a global perspective,however, safety in détail is site specific so it's important you understand the area where the work is to be carried out. Secondly geology activities also differ and so you also need to understand the détail and stage of the project e.g. HASP for mapping can't be the same when running a drilling program. Once these are well understood then a job hazard analysis is done for all associated activities written down. This is followed by induction for all employees and sub contractors involved. Incident report and Action plan systematics can then be elaborated alongside examples of incidents or acidents which have happened and how you successfully treated the cases.

Safety shoul be highly prioritised in the field as no work is worth fatality or injuries. It is important that a full risk assessment is done/completed to inform the job to be done. A complete SLAM (Stop,Look,Assess and manage) is necessary during any operation or field to prevent and address any safety risks.

I usually give a short briefing on the steps of the fieldwork. This is a general briefing that clarifies the equipment and personnel needed (e.g. moving in pairs when mapping) and general hazards. As fieldwork can be on a very varied scale, it is important to think through the safety requirements as you focus on the task at hand. Some (non-exhaustive) highlights to think about: Logistics may be different in hard-to-reach places than in populated areas. Should seasonal variations be taken into account? Do you need armed security? Identification with local residents? Develop a policy for this!

Effectively Communicating Safety Measures to Clients can be achieved by, 1. Clearly outline risk assessment and emergency response plans. 2. Highlight team qualifications and safety training. 3. Share past success stories and lessons learned. Also, - Provide regular updates and encourage feedback. - Showcase certifications and client testimonials. - Leverage technology for real-time tracking and incident reporting.

Very well said here, but in reality many companies don't want to see about safety related matters addressed to them, as long as it becomes a cost factor. The primary factor to consider is relate well with client, know some history of the project site, request a contact person from the project community to brief you on saftey related matters, know a bit about the tradition and their sacrificial days. Dedicate a safety officer amongst the team, give opportunity for there to be short safety meetings to enhance and create awareness of safety issues. Lastly let your team be each other keepers, ‘you watch my back I watch your back’ while you Insist on company promulgated safety rules.

In our fieldwork, we prioritize safety by adhering to strict protocols and industry standards, ensuring compliance with local regulations. Before any project, we conduct comprehensive risk assessments to identify potential hazards, such as geological instability. All team members undergo rigorous training to ensure they are competent in safety procedures. We have established emergency response plans, including evacuation protocols and clear communication strategies. Continuous monitoring during operations helps maintain a safe environment. We encourage client collaboration to address specific safety concerns and conduct post-fieldwork reviews to identify improvements and successes.

Something that I believe is good it to clearly show and explain the procedures related with safety in the work/field area! It is important to make sure that all are using complete and approved PPE and recommended all to strict follow the safety rules.
