"Nabors Drilling USA, LP's objective is to be recognized by our employees, customers and competitors as the industry leader in safe and efficient drilling operations. To achieve this goal, we must create a safety culture second to none in the industry, which will lead to an injury-free workplace."

- Joe M. Hudson, President, Nabors Drilling USA, LP

Safety is a vital element of Nabors' drilling services and a strong indicator of the efficiency of our operations. The management of Nabors Drilling USA, LP (NDUSA) is committed to providing safe, healthful and drug-free work environments at all our operating locations. We are dedicated to identifying, correcting and preventing health, safety and environmental hazards, which could adversely affect our employees, our customers or the general public. Further, the management is committed to ensuring that all applicable regulatory health, safety and environmental protection requirements are complied with and that adequate resources are provided to ensure the health and safety of our employees as well as the preservation of the environment. The ultimate goal is zero incidents.

Nabors Drilling USA has consistently led the land drilling industry in safety performance and continues to improve year upon year. We consistently achieve a lost-time incident rate significantly better than the U.S. land drilling industry average. To achieve results of this kind in a company of our scale requires constant management commitment and focus, a trained and knowledgeable workforce, work processes and controls that are understandable and enforced and, above all, a culture and belief that our work is never so important that we cannot take the time to do it safely.

The employees at NDUSA are the foundation of our health, safety and environmental protection programs. The cooperation of all NDUSA personnel is essential to support and sustain an effective health, safety and environmental protection program. Nabors invests significant capital yearly in personnel training, personal protection equipment and rig modifications that improve safety performance. These efforts have significantly reduced injuries and health risks to our employees and ensured a leading safety position each year for Nabors among domestic drilling contractors.

We have one of the most comprehensive training programs available in the U.S. land drilling industry. It is a competence-based system which is geared to provide every level within our company with the skills and knowledge required to perform efficiently and safely and, at the same time, provides employees with the basis for developing their careers. Our training courses are a combination of in-depth classroom study and supervised rig training at dedicated training rigs strategically centered in the most active geographic regions of the U.S.
