Since we are all together here waiting on our 10k morale boosting payout, I would like to take this opportunity to reflect back on a pivotal moment in Devon EHS history.
The date was early 2018, and by now most everyone waited for the JHA process to save not only the company, but several careers within ehs. The naysayers who said the process had already been established since the early 1970s were banished from relevance.
The ship captain had just set anchor into his favorite port ( yes, that one) and was in no way deterred by this albeit small distraction. After all, he was the winner of his previous employer's prestigious employee award, working long nights away from the family were just part of it.
By now, all of the captains engines were full speed ahead in his favorite port. But there was one problem, an overlooked nemesis and certain threat to the whole operation. This certain nemesis had the battle scars of a thousand blue whales and had lived to see many things, for he had been to the homeplate islands and witnessed babies lifting boxes, he had sailed across the great isle of lobes, and last but certainly not least, had hosted the kraken of all safety meetings in Weatherford operations history. This nemesis had single-handedly ship wrecked several careers all while below deck of the superintendents quarters. He was no amateur and some claim he cast a widetrack.
