Safety 34

Safety Culture

Pipeline construction requires large construction equipment, an immense workforce, and dealing with ever-changing terrain and weather conditions to meet stringent project deadlines.

Our Customers and Pumpco’s expectations are always aligned as we both demand projects be performed safely as well as meet all the Customers goals and objectives for any project.

Pumpco mandates that each employee be accountable to work safely and have the right to “stop work” if working safely becomes a concern.

Our projects are staffed with full-time management and on-site professionals who have the training and experience to insure safety is our top priority.

Pumpco always provides the necessary training and equipment to support working safely and we comply with all state/ federal standards and regulations applicable to pipeline safety.
