Environmental Health and Safety Mission
Our mission is to support the responsible development and production of oil and gas resources by promotion of safe and healthy work environments, through the development, communication and training, and auditing of environmental, health and safety specifications that, when implemented, will minimize or eliminate safety and health risks and environmental impacts and provide effective regulatory compliance for Red Willow Production Company in a manner consistent with responsible environmental and fiscal stewardship.
Environment
Red Willow is a proponent of environmental stewardship and we strive for minimal impacts to the air, water, and land during our drilling and operations activities. Environmental management programs are in place to reduce air emissions, prevent and respond to releases, protect water resources, work collaboratively with landowners, and to minimize wildlife and habitat disturbance. We manage and operate our assets in full compliance with applicable environmental, health and safety, State, Federal, and Tribal regulations and internal standards.
Health & Safety
Red Willow Production Company is dedicated to the health and safety of our employees, contractors, and the local communities where we operate.
Red Willow fosters a safety culture that is proactive: we continually strive to improve our health and safety programs and practices by training our employees as well as providing technical support to our employees and contractors. Protecting the health and safety of our employees, contractors, and community members is part of our culture.
Red Willow also incorporates leading safety indicators, such as conducting safety meetings, employee participation in safety committees, and overall employee engagement in safety. We also encompass an internal multi-discipline audit team which identifies and mitigates potential hazards.
Red Willow measures our performance against two common industry key performance indicators: Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) and Days Away, Restrictions, and Transfers (DART).
