Blackeagle Energy Services officials said the firm recently achieved a safety-performance milestone resulting in exceeding 4 million man-hours without a lost time incident.

“We have a culture of caring at Blackeagle where every individual looks after one another,” Scott Yenzer, Blackeagle’s senior vice president, said. “Working 4 million man-hours without a lost time incident demonstrates our commitment to operating at the highest standards of care and performance.”

Blackeagle’s ability to work safely and without incident on high-profile projects has been a tremendous value to their customers, officials said.

“We are extremely proud of our employees, who work in challenging environments every day and stay safe by applying our safety systems, including the Good Catch program, where they proactively identify potential losses, record and correct them immediately,” Earl Worth, Blackeagle’s safety director, said. “One safety metric is Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR). While the construction industry sits at an average of 3.6 TRIR, Blackeagle has achieved world-class safety performance with a 0.00 TRIR and averaged 0.27 TRIR over the last five years.”

Colorado-headquartered Blackeagle has hub offices in Texas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska, operating in 17 states, from the Rocky Mountains to the Gulf States and across the Great Plains. The firm serves as a premier provider of services to utility/energy companies and specializes in building and maintaining the nation’s energy infrastructure with pipeline and facility construction, integrity management, field maintenance, and fabrication.
