Because our key management team has actually spent time on rigs, we understand what is required to ensure that QHSE and operational standards are met and that the people working in these environments are safe.

Safer technology with training to match.

With automated systems replacing many of the manual operations, the work environment has become much safer and efficient. Northern reinforces those advantages with a comprehensive, globally audited, fully integrated Safety Management System, ensuring that our employees are trained and competent, that our equipment is maintained, and that all other aspects of our business model are controlled. Our employees receive intensive safety and technical training, including OEM-specific training on the equipment they will be using.

Where safety is tradition.

We've worked on rigs and know what's needed to protect our people.
