He explained that the acronym F.O.C.U.S. was set in motion to ensure the successful process of achieving total safety on the rigs. “Safety is not just a routine; it is a culture we must practice every day. Through this initiative, we recognize the incredible efforts of our rig workers in maintaining a safe rig environment, ensuring that everyone returns home safely to their families,” he said.

One personnel can cause grave dangers to others on the rig, so we all must look out for one another,” he said.
