“ We are there for each other both on and off the job site , and reinforce this culture by encouraging people to pitch in and get involved in whatever is needed to complete the job at hand , regardless of role . Our Job Safety Analysis program is a proactive behavior-based approach to evaluating , applying , and communicating hazards prior to performing duties . The analysis consists of three main steps : breaking down the task to its simplest requirement , identifying the potential associated hazards , and determining the necessary action to minimize the chance of them causing incidents . The primary benefit of this program is that it engages employees to think through each action thoroughly , thereby empowering them to make the right decisions .

“ Moreover , we have a 16-element Health , Safety , and Environment ( HS & E ) management system , which is designed to measure , manage , and continually improve risk exposure through a fourstep process : plan , do , assess and adjust ,” he continues . “ Each element contains an objective statement , followed by listed minimum requirements that the Calfrac management team will use as a set of guiding principles in managing all HS & E processes . Excellence in each of these areas is essential to achieving our goal of incidentfree operations under our brand ’ s promise . We deploy safety measures such as multipump control screens and containments on site locations to minimize the impact of human or environmentally based incidents .”

Improving operations

Calfrac practices reduced truck traffic and uses wellsite produced water , rather than fresh , alongside minimized quantities of iron . It furthers its efforts by striving to capture any airborne silica that escapes during fracturing activities .

“ We are leveraging our customerfocused laboratory services to continually evaluate and develop more environmentally friendly chemicals to be used in the field ,” Pat concludes . “ In accordance with the green house gases protocol , we have been collating a baseline inventory of the business ’ Scope 1 and 2 emissions . These will stand to satisfy the pending requirements for climate-related disclosures as well as manage our energy transition risks and ongoing decision-making around equipment selection and fleet modernization . We believe that there will be a healthy demand for hydrocarbons as the world moves forward with its choice of energy and , as a result , there will be a significant demand for pressure pumping services in 2023 and beyond .” ■
