Pipeline construction projects around the world have but one goal; a successful completion. Success is influenced by several factors to include quality and productivity, but equally balanced with safety. Ask any contractor and they will tell you that safety is of the highest priority among these processes on a pipeline project because it protects the most important resource they have; their employees. When employees are injured the success of the project is threatened because that part of the process failed. In addition, crew members and their families are affected due to the fact that the project may not finish on time, influencing profitability and, ultimately, whether future projects are awarded.
