Safety Is the System: How B&B Roustabout Embeds Safety into Every Job

🛡️ Safety Is the System: How B&B Roustabout Embeds Safety into Every Job

In the oilfield, safety isn’t a checklist.
It’s a culture.

At B&B Roustabout Inc., based in Vernal, Utah, safety isn’t just something we “talk about” at the start of a shift—it’s woven into every task, every crew, and every system we use.

Why? Because in this line of work, one mistake is one too many.

🧠 Training That Actually Sticks

Every B&B crew member—from green hands to foremen—goes through a rigorous onboarding program that covers:

• Confined space protocol
• Lock-out/tag-out training
• Equipment inspection and certification
• Poly welding and pipefitting safety
• Hazard communication (HAZCOM)

But what makes B&B different is what happens after onboarding. Weekly toolbox talks and real-world scenario reviews are part of the culture—not just compliance.

“Safety’s not a department here. It’s a daily decision.”
— AJ Burk, COO

🛠️ Field-Ready Gear & Equipment

We don’t cut corners—because cutting corners cuts people.

• All crews are issued PPE (personal protective equipment)
• Trucks are inspected weekly and logged digitally
• Fire extinguishers, spill kits, and lock-out kits are stocked and checked
• Every rig-up is field-reviewed before kick-off

Clients trust us because we trust our process.

📲 Real-Time Reporting & Accountability

With digital job tracking from Cantrell Jackson software, safety events and near-misses can be logged in real time—and followed up immediately.

• On-site iPads for reporting
• Incident reviews led by both office and field teams
• Safety KPIs tracked on the same dashboard as job progress

“If you can’t measure it, you can’t fix it. We made safety visible.”
— Justin Birchell, CEO

🤝 Leadership in the Field

Safety isn’t top-down—it’s bottom-up. That’s why our best safety improvements come from the crews doing the work.

• Crew leads are empowered to pause jobs when something doesn’t feel right
• Team feedback is encouraged (and expected) during post-job reviews
• Safety incentives are tied to team-wide performance, not just individual stats

When people feel ownership, they protect what matters—each other.

🧱 The Result: Fewer Incidents, Stronger Teams

Since launching our formal safety huddle and training series in early 2024, B&B has seen:

✅ 62% drop in minor incident reports
✅ 0 lost-time injuries in the past 18 months
✅ 4 new client contracts signed citing “safety reputation” as a key factor
