PCS’s management and employees are 100% committed to “Goal Zero- Zero Incidents, Zero Injuries, and Zero Spills.” We believe that if one job can be successfully completed in adherence to “Goal Zero,” then all jobs can be done Incident, Injury, and Spill free.
Here are a few of the programs that we have in place to help drive the result of Goal Zero:
JSA Program
All of our Tank Barge PICs complete a Job Safety Analysis upon boarding the barge. We do this to raise awareness of the potential hazards that exist on every job. These JSA’s are forwarded to our customers for review and use in their audits.
Near Miss Program
The purpose of the Near Miss Program at Petro-Chem Services is to establish a culture of vigilant awareness and continued development of the company’s QHSSE performance by the identification and prevention of incidents. Near-misses are valuable learning opportunities affording early detection of possible system weaknesses and provide an early chance for correction before an accident occurs.
SWO (Stop Work Obligation)
All of our Tank Barge PICs have the right to use Stop Work Obligation. We believe that Stop Work is not only a right, but it is an obligation to be used whenever the need arises on any job.
Quality Control Supervisor
Our dedicated Quality Control Supervisor plays a crucial role in maintaining our high standards of operational excellence. This full-time position focuses on conducting various field audits to ensure compliance and best practices across all aspects of our operations. Key audit areas include Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), barge inspections, safety culture assessments, and adherence to both customer and company policies and procedures during critical activities such as topping off and stripping procedures.
Safety Meetings and Weekly Safety Topics
We hold safety meetings with all employees to raise and maintain high safety awareness. We also publish weekly safety topics to all employees and conduct monthly reviews and quizzes.
