My dad tells a story about attending an offshore drilling update for the Gulf where "Christmas Tree Safety" was the first thing on the agenda. He was wondering why Christmas tree safety was on a drilling agenda when they started the meeting and explained how to keep your tree from getting dry and catching fire! 50 guys making 50-100,000 a day with 100-150 degrees talking real Christmas trees!!!
“I think BP TALKS a good story about safety. 10 years ago when they started that “Beyond the Best” crap and then found out they were nowhere near the best at anything.”
Simply a play on words. They didn’t specify which direction they are “Beyond the Best”.
If you don’t actually know about oilfield Christmas trees you talk about what you may know something about. Just saying.
Christmas trees, holiday safety, gardening safety and such are all the rage in corp safety circles these days. Some of the mandatory monthly safety observations would be just downright entertaining were they not such a waste of time and assets.
