Tyonek platform scores

In late 2007, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, recognized ConocoPhillips’ Tyonek platform in Cook Inlet for excellence in employee safety and health. OSHA put the facilities into its Voluntary Protection Programs at the “star,” or highest, level in a ceremony that was held on the Tyonek platform.

The Tyonek platform produces about 80 million cubic feet of natural gas per day, most of which is sent by pipeline to Marathon Oil and ConocoPhillips’ liquefied natural gas plant in Nikiski. OSHA also named Peak Oilfield Service Co., which provides the Tyonek platform and its onshore facility with contract labor and equipment for gas production.

The agency awarded the star designation following an onsite review of the facility’s safety and health programs, interviews with employees and a complete tour of the worksite.

Nearly 1,800 worksites nationwide have earned the Voluntary Protection Programs status. To qualify, sites must meet or exceed all OSHA regulatory standards and submit to a review of their programs. Program participants typically achieve injury and illness rates at least 50 percent below their respective industries’ averages.
