Safety Message: Welcoming New Team Members the Cokebusters Way

At Cokebusters, we believe that training isn’t just a phase – it’s the foundation of everything we do. In a sector as complex and high-risk as oil refining, where OSHA’s Process Safety Management (PSM) standards govern critical areas like mechanical integrity, hazard analysis and emergency response, safety performance begins long before we arrive on site.

Whether it’s a seasoned technician or a short-service employee stepping into the field for the first time, our training is designed to embed a safety-first mindset from day one. It’s how we transform potential into precision and new hires into trusted teammates.

With seven new employees recently joining Cokebusters USA, we’ve doubled down on our commitment to thorough onboarding in Houston. Every individual receives tailored safety and operational training – not just to meet regulations, but to embody the values of vigilance and accountability that keep both our people and our clients safe.

We go further than checklists. Our programs are actively shaped by real-world feedback from our operators in the field, ensuring that our procedures evolve alongside industry challenges. This collaborative approach means our teams are equipped not only to deliver exceptional technical service – mechanical decoking, Smart Pig inspections, water filtration – but to do so in a way that supports our clients’ own compliance with OSHA, refinery NEP inspections and wider safety frameworks.

As HSE Manager Paul Kelleher reminds us, “Training is fundamental to safety performance – not just because it teaches procedures, but because it builds the mindset that keeps people safe.” At Cokebusters, safety isn’t a one-time lesson, it’s a culture reinforced with every hire, every job and every conversation.

For our clients, that means confidence. Confidence that when Cokebusters arrives on site, you’re working with a team trained to the highest standards, aligned with regulatory expectations and fully committed to protecting your people, your assets and your reputation.

Together, we’re not just building a safer workplace – we’re building a stronger team. Safety is everyone’s responsibility and at Cokebusters, it’s part of who we are.

When you choose Cokebusters, you’re choosing a partner who treats safety as a shared responsibility. Let’s talk about how our teams can support your next turnaround with safety and efficiency at the core.
