HSE

Health, Safety and Environment

The safety of our employees and the protection of our environment is a cornerstone, and we are committed to providing a safe, incident-free work environment at all of our locations. Managers and leaders of our businesses have developed the Patterson-UTI Health, Safety and Environment management systems to document the policies, standards, and procedures by which we conduct our business to achieve these objectives.

For more information, see our HSE Policy Statement.

Health

The Patterson-UTI Energy health and wellness program provides for extensive preventative care and is designed to improve our employees' fitness for work, personal safety on the job, and overall well-being. We believe this program is one of the most comprehensive benefit packages offered in the energy services industry for employees and their families.

Safety Culture

Our goal is to provide an incident-free work environment. Our managers and supervisors are accountable for the safety of our people and are committed to ensuring that they have safe working equipment, required personal protection and training for their tasks. Our employees are trained to be responsible for the safety of their own actions in order to protect themselves, their team members and others.

The safety of our employees and others is our highest priority. We empower each person in our workforce with the right to call a “stop” whenever they feel the need. We believe there is no job worth performing if it can’t be performed safely.

Environment

We are committed to a clean and healthy environment with long-term sustainability. It is our goal to minimize our environmental impact in the communities in which we work and live, while providing services for our customers in a safe and responsible manner.

The Patterson-UTI Energy HS&E management systems are designed to document the policies, standards and procedures by which we conduct our business in order to achieve these objectives. 

 For more information about our sustainability efforts and environmental policies, standards and procedures, please see our Environmental Management Policy and our Sustainability Report.

 

 

Effective leadership and mentorship

Learning is a core focus. Our training programs, both classroom and on-the-job, give our people a clear path for success right from the start. We coach and we mentor. Continuous learning is our way of life.

Stop Work Authority

At any point, our employees are empowered to call a "Timeout for Safety" if they identify a hazard or any at-risk behavior. Safety meetings and "Energy Circle" briefings are also tools we use to identify risks.

Communication initiatives

The Patterson-UTI Energy HS&E management systems are designed to document the policies, standards and procedures by which we conduct our business in order to achieve these objectives.

Ongoing comprehensive training and incentives

Our goal is to provide an incident-free work environment. Our managers and supervisors are accountable for the safety of our people and are committed to ensuring that they have safe working equipment, required personal protection and training for their tasks.

Focus on teamwork

We're committed to an incident-free workplace. It takes everyone at the jobsite working together as a team to establish safe work practices and achieve this goal.
