TTS Bison Safety Winners – September
Congratulations to our September TTS Bison Safety Winners! These Thru Tubing Solutions employees continue to demonstrate the safety-first mindset that drives our culture by recognizing hazards, taking proactive action, and helping protect those around them. Thank you for your commitment to safe operations and for looking out for your teammates every day.
📌 JR Jordan
While observing ongoing flowback operations, I noticed a flowback employee walking on top of the tanks to obtain measurements without wearing a fall protection harness or being properly tied off.
Recognizing the potential for a serious fall from an elevated surface, I immediately intervened and instructed the employee to come down from the tanks. I explained the hazards associated with working at heights without proper fall protection and reinforced the importance of following established safety procedures.
The employee was advised that if accessing the top of the tanks was necessary to complete the task, appropriate fall protection equipment must be worn and properly secured to an approved anchorage point before proceeding.
📌 Scott Willis
During ongoing operations, a wireline employee and a torque hand were observed working in a man basket without utilizing the required fall protection equipment.
This unsafe condition presented a significant fall hazard, with the potential for serious injury or fatality. The situation required immediate intervention to address the lack of proper fall protection and reinforce safe work practices when performing elevated tasks.
📌 Shawn Elkins
During ongoing wellsite operations, bees were observed around the wellhead, creating a potential hazard to personnel working in the area.
Recognizing the risk of bee stings, allergic reactions, and possible injury resulting from sudden movements or distractions, I immediately exercised Stop Work Authority and suspended operations in the affected area.
📌 Jose Garcia
While making up the Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA), I observed a flowback employee walking behind the wrenches and entering the line-of-fire area while operations were in progress.
Recognizing the potential for serious injury from moving equipment, pinch points, or unexpected movement of the wrenches, I immediately stopped operations and addressed the unsafe condition.
I communicated with the employee and surrounding personnel, explaining the hazards associated with entering the line of fire during BHA makeup. All personnel were instructed to remain clear of the area until the BHA makeup process was completed and it was safe to approach.
📌 Beau Tallman
While accessing the perch, I noticed a stair step that had developed a crack along the weld. Recognizing the potential for structural failure and a fall hazard, I immediately brought the condition to the attention of the Rig Supervisor.
After discussing the issue, the Rig Supervisor explained that the damaged area was where the middle stairway support was designed to be installed. Upon further inspection, it was identified that the support was missing, leaving the stairway without adequate reinforcement.
Corrective action was taken by installing the missing support and securing the stairway to prevent further stress on the damaged step and reduce the potential for additional cracking or structural failure.
