HBR Honors Deep South … Again

hbr heavy lift safety award

Deep South Crane & Rigging (Deep South) has been awarded the 2018 Best of the Best in the Crane & Rigging category for outstanding safety performance from the Houston Business Roundtable (HBR)—the second consecutive honor for the firm in years of eligibility.

First nominated in 2015 by ExxonMobil for its work on projects, Deep South won the 2016 HBR Best of the Best award in the Crane & Rigging category. As part of the 2016 honor, Deep South shared best practices and mentored other companies in 2017. In the next year of eligibility, ExxonMobil again nominated Deep South for the 2018 HBR award for work completed in 2017.

Deep South Director of Safety Jody Hammett, says, “It’s an honor to win this award again. The HBR evaluation process is extraordinarily rigorous—and has become an integral part of our continuous improvement safety culture.”

Beyond the nomination by a client for exemplary performance, HBR sends a team of owner and contractor volunteers to the nominated work site to conduct a daylong site visit that includes a detailed audit of policies and procedures. They also conduct one-on-one interviews with site employees to verify that safety, health and environmental policies and procedures have been implemented in the field.

Hammett continues, “While the recognition certainly gives us assurance that we’re on the right path, we also use the nomination and award process to learn new industry tools, techniques and best practices. Evaluator feedback is invaluable in our quest to ensure our people and clients are safe.”
