Chet Morrison Contractors announces that it has achieved a safety milestone, recording zero injuries and zero incidents for 2016. The company also posted zero motor vehicle accidents, fires, spills or damage to the environment and incurred zero regulatory fines.

This record covers approximately 800,000 man-hours on more than 300 projects for nearly 100 customers. It includes all services and operations, such as diving, heavy construction, fabrication and deepwater riser services. Moreover, it was achieved despite widespread spending reductions across the industry.

“Health, Safety, & the Environment (HSE) are core values for us,” said Chet Morrison, CEO and founder of the company. “We are focused on creating an incident-free workplace without environmental impact through strong leadership, visible support, and clear guidance. This safety record is the result of individual responsibility and accountability at every level of our organization.”

Chet Morrison Contractors’ approach to safety improvement has been comprehensive, including everything from employee learning and training to project planning and execution. By promoting a proactive, positive culture of safety both on and off the job, the company has made its employees into partners, all continually working toward the common goal of zero incidents.

Looking forward, Chet Morrison Contractors will continue to identify, eliminate and control hazards while employing Safe Work Practices across all its operations. The company is committed to reducing the amount of High Potential for Occurrence (HiPO) events, increasing competency with skill education and training, and continuing to focus on improvement across all HSE activities.
