Big Country Energy Services LP is dedicated to safety and health. Our "Number One" priority is the protection of the most valuable asset that we have; our people. The company safety program is designed to protect personnel as well as the general public. The protection of our environment is factored in to our core operations from the beginning strategy, to the last man on site.
Big Country Energy Services LP is continuing to build a "safety culture" from the ground up whereby management, field supervisors and workers support the concept that safety is an individual and team responsibility.
With the application of the Big Country Energy Services LP Safety Management System we will continue to educate, train and develop the workers in the reduction of workplace hazards and incidents. The goal of BCES is to be the Pipeline and Facility contractor of choice.
