Safety Is How We Work
Safety isn’t just a policy it’s part of who we are. It’s reflected in how we plan, how we train, how
we communicate, and how we care for one another. From the first drill to the final pullback, safety
is integrated into every step of our HDD operations.

A Culture That Lives Safety
We don’t just talk about safety—we live it. Across our worksites, our offices, and even our homes, safety is second nature. Our teams use Job Safety Analyses (JSAs), Permit to Work (PTW) systems, line-of-fire protocols, lockout/tagout procedures, and more to plan and execute each task with care and control. Regular training, site audits, leadership walkthroughs, and open discussions keep safety at the heart of our daily work. We also track key HSE indicators, conduct incident reviews, and continually update our methods based on lessons learned and industry best practices. This approach has created a work environment where people don’t just follow rules they believe in the reason behind them.
Health Comes First Always
A healthy workforce is a strong workforce. We take this seriously—not just because it’s good for business, but because we care about our people. Lifcon promotes wellness on and off the job, offering programs that cover everything from heat stress prevention and proper hydration to fatigue management, mental health awareness, and occupational hygiene. We also run health screenings, awareness campaigns, and educational initiatives that encourage healthy choices and prevent common work-related health risks especially in demanding field environments. When our people feel good, they work better, and they stay safer.
Leading by Example in HDD Safety
At Lifcon, we’re proud of what we do but we’re even prouder of how we do it. Our ambition is to set a higher standard for safety, health, and environmental care in the HDD industry. We don’t settle for “good enough.” We challenge ourselves to improve, to lead, and to make safety not just a part of the process—but a part of our identity. Because in the end, nothing is more valuable than the well-being of our people.
Respecting the Environment, We Work In
Our HDD projects often take us through delicate environments, and we make it our responsibility
to protect them. We follow strict environmental protocols to control drilling fluid, manage waste,
prevent spills, and ensure groundwater protection.
We aim for minimal impact, maximum care, and full compliance with national regulations and
environmental best practices. Site restoration and proper disposal methods are built into every
project from day one.
