 Shell Oil selected GHD and American Integrated Services as the recipient of their 2015 Q2 Safety Award for the United States. We are proud of Jenilee Houghtailing, a project coordinator from our Fairfield Office, who exercised stop work authority when she recognized a potential hazard associated with working from heights.

Shell's award nomination states:
"GHD and their Subcontractor American Integrated Services, Inc. (AIS) were nominated for their proactive hazard recognition, as well as a clear understanding of how the safety requirements apply to the updated scope of work. GHD and AIS were on site conducting remedial excavation at a Shell-branded service station. During air-knife activities to investigate and protect utilities in the vicinity of the excavation, it was determined that bed liners would be needed for the end-dump trucks to aid in off-loading the soil/water at the final disposal facility.  AIS identified that this was a change condition and initiated management of change (MOC) review with GHD, specifically noting the potential for a work at heights Life-Saving Rule violation if climbing into the back of the truck, as well as, recognition that working from a ladder could violate the global ladder ban. The AIS and GHD team reviewed the situation and determined the best solution to mitigate the risks, which included use of a boom lift.  AIS also ensured the team onsite was properly trained in the use of the boom lift.  GHD and AIS exhibited very perceptive hazard identification to proactively plan a solution that both allowed the work to continue without delay and brought attention to the Life-Saving Rules at the jobsite."

Shell team members made the following comments in support of the nomination:

“We’ve seen numerous instances of this rule being violated in exactly this situation, and AIS really stepped up and showed their understanding of the nuances of the Life-Saving Rules. “
 
“MoC is a difficult thing to get ingrained in day to day operations and it was nice to see that they recognized a change in planned operations and then took the time to think about the potential for a LSR.  Really impressed with the stop and think approach. “
 
“GHD’s nomination stands out to me because this subcontractor took the initiative to work with GHD in advance on a solution to a situation that could have easily resulted in a Life-Saving Rule violation. “
