Thanks for the link security58 provides good idea of what work flo is like. Safety is a major plus when deciding which outfit to work for, which is why i think baker is such a good place to go to. Just hope it doesn't take forever to get started, especially since when i get there i won't have any initiate means of housing

 

Safety is a dog and pony show and only talked about in lip service. One example: In the Baker Hughes video, while they are talking about safety(with a gun to their head off camera) most of the guys have their H2S monitor clipped on the back of their hard hat. Might as well not even wear one.

 

True true, i mean for sure. But just the same, i won't mind any number of paid safety breaks, meetings what have you. No one in a hurry, all by the hr no rush, less likelihood to cause accident. But i agree, i mean same with dot regs, c'mon nobody doin any of the stuff they learn in school immediately after getting license all that bs guess out the window. But the main thingi liked is they roll out in convoy style, you're not off navigating leases by yourself. Im happy if its huge crew with accountability of some sort in place.

I figure I'll get my experience and learn the trade. I want to make money, but i want to live to enjoy it too lol

 

By the way, the h2s thing is one thing that dues scare the #### out of me, can bet I'll have mine wear i can see it. Doesn't it beep though too?

 

The convoy slows the rest of us down wnd causes serious problems when they're lined up on the side of the rode right before an intersection. ....... I have laid on my horn many times. .

 

Dont be scared the wind blows . And there's gas masks but when it gets too high you just sit on the side of location. Did that when I workef on drilling rigs , longest day ever....

 

No.. you see.. none of the stuff they TALK about actually happens. It's all "CYA" from management and corporate.

For example: The rule is no cell phones while driving. Ok, well then why are the supervisors calling on the cell phone constantly and get pissed when their calls aren't answered?

Same thing for DOT rules and stuff like not rushing.

 

For sure, gotta love it. Those bennies come at a price, putting up with corporate bs and double think expectations. All i gotta say is, i used to work in industry full of Deleted, (not beefin so don't take me outa context just stating my experience) and as a employee or contractor to these mom and pop foreigner types, i put up with tons of crap and never got benefits, ot, or pto so i want to jump ship at least long enough to the big corporate side until i can fly my own flag and have my own tractor. It will be totally asinine, but what the hell long as these silly suits write that check I'm obliged to say thank you may i please have another lol. no one intends to do this forever right

 

Just wear the monitor below but close to mouth. I wear mine on the collar of my shirt.

If it goes off move uphill and up or cross wind.

Don't put your head in confined spaces(tanks, pits etc)and you have little to wprry about

 

Safety is what you make of it. A reputable company will teach you what you need to know. Some people, even supervisors, will only do it the right way when the safety man is around. That's on them. You have to choose to work safely, nobody else can do it for you. If you don't think something is being done safely you have the right to stop the job. No reputable company will call you out for that, if they do you should run for the door.

As for the newbie who said nobody does all the safety things they teach you in driving school ..... please keep your truck away from my family. If you're too lazy to do a basic pre-trip and make sure your vehicle is safe, you should find another line of work. JMHO.
