Among the “firsts” Bristow achieved in 2014, nothing tops reaching a full year of Target Zero safety in global oil and gas operations.

“It’s an extraordinary achievement for the global team,” said VP and Chief Safety Officer Steve Predmore in a video message with President and CEO Jonathan Baliff highlighting the milestone. “We always knew that Target Zero was a reachable goal. We got there with the daily commitment and dedication it takes to be an industry leader in safety.”

In addition to the company-wide milestone, some Bristow operations have gone even further:

1) The West Africa Business Unit (WASBU) and BGI Aviation Technical Services (BATS) reached two full years of Target Zero safety in November.
2) The Port Harcourt base in Nigeria has currently reached 1,073 consecutive days of Target Zero and is still going strong.

For us, reaching 1,000 days was a starting point,” said Safety Coordinator Adegboyega Oyinboade. “Zero accidents: none today, tomorrow or ever after remains our ultimate goal.”
