Halliburton Receives OSHA Star Worksite Approval
Halliburton (NYSE: HAL) has been reapproved by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as a Star Worksite within its Voluntary Protection Programs. The worksite approval is for Halliburton's Drill Bits and Services manufacturing facility in The Woodlands, Texas. It is the only drill bit manufacturing facility in the energy services industry to achieve this status.
At this location, Halliburton designs and manufactures roller cone and fixed cutter drill bits to handle a broad range of drilling challenges. It also repairs bits at the facility, which opened in 2003 and was first certified in 2004. This is the second time the facility has been recognized with a recertification after completing an intensive audit process with OSHA/VPP. The first VPP recertification, which is designated for three years, was awarded in 2008.
