Safety Vision

The best way to convey our vision for high performance safety is to share with our stakeholders what WE BELIEVE to be true about safety, what WE PROMISE to ourselves and each other, and what EVERYONE SHOULD SEE on our projects.

WE BELIEVE…

… that great safety is good business.… that workplace injuries and illnesses are simply unacceptable.… relentless continuous improvement leads to a zero harm culture.

WE PROMISE…

… to make people first and statistics last.… that unsafe productivity won’t be valued by our leaders. No exceptions.… to always make safety performance a key element of our broader vision and

purpose.

EVERYONE SHOULD SEE…

… an environment where everyone is comfortable and active in stopping unsafe acts and conditions.

… great planning as a key contributor to high performance safety.… active and passionate safety leadership

Safety Performance

Our safety vision is directly translated into an exemplary

safety record.

Methodology

Brewer Facility

Case Study – A Lean Approach to Construction

Situation

With crude prices below $50/bbl, companies are looking for price concessions – in this case, 5%-8%

Opportunity

• Create a standardized process to reduce total cycle time and cost in a repetitive facility build

• Become primary vendor given first choice to perform

Approach

• USSS was given uninterrupted access to the construction site for the duration of the build

• Conducted a postmortem analysis of process steps, delays, and costs

• Facilitated a full-day Kaizen event, documenting the situation and brainstorming solutions
