Changing Company Cultures in Oil & Gas Midstream: Sustainability Through Safety

SUGAR LAND--March 28, 2017--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--As times change, cultures change. This is true in nations as it is in companies. Three decades ago, it would be unthinkable to have yoga balls for chairs, a bar in the office or unlimited paid time off, things that are seen more in 21st century offices. Similarly, the term "Environmental, Health and Safety" is relatively new, and its focus has gone from making sure the project is built on time to protecting human lives, the environment and the health of living things affected by the construction. As such, a typical midstream company's "safety guy" has been replaced by an entire department staffed by teams. The projects and spending by these companies are informed by their culture, meaning likely increases in spending on inspections, remediation and asset maintenance.
