Safety

One of the biggest safety challenges is the remote nature of drilling work. Historically, our team out on sites have had to rely on sometimes patchy mobile, internet and satellite communications.

Hagstrom is proudly pioneering a new way to communicate between our site teams, Perth office and clients. With the installation of Starlink phased array antennas across our fleet, we leverage the world’s first and largest advanced satellite constellation to ensure seamless 24/7 internet connectivity.

Utilising Starlink enables us to:

• Activate emergency responses in seconds to keep our team and site safe
• Monitor our assets in real time to optimise functioning and mitigate risks
• Monitor and track drilling data at site from headquarters in Perth in real time
• Run reports to drive efficient and informed decision making based on accurate data
• Stop work when they believe an unsafe work condition exists

We attribute a large portion of our overall success as a company to the significance we place on safety.  Our commitment to safety has allowed us to effectively manage the risks inherent in our industry, provide a safe, sensible, and productive work environment and consistently prevent injuries as well as control costs.

A keystone of our success is the investment we make in the training and competency of our personnel.

At Hagstrom, we ensure that all personnel have the right training, qualifications and attitudes to safety; that qualifies them to competently perform tasks whether out in the field or in our workshops. HSE training is a standard process in Hagstrom’s onboarding procedures. Knowledge and recognition of safety hazards empowers our workers to make considered decisions.

We establish and enforce safe work procedures and we encourage our employees to “always engage and think” about safety as they go about their day. We also disseminate lessons learned from every incident or near-miss to help others stay safe.
