Achieving Excellence in Safety
Built Into Our Work
Diamond Valley builds safety requirements into every operational process.
Site-specific safety plans and hazard assessments are completed before every job. Operators are trained for the equipment they run and the chemicals they handle. Emergency response equipment, such as onboard showers, flush stations, and fire suppression systems, is standard on the units that require it.
When something changes on-site, our crews have the authority and the expectation to stop, reassess, and proceed only when it is safe to do so.
What Our Safety Management System Covers
Field Qualification System
Hiring, structured onboarding, and a mentorship period where new operators work alongside experienced crew before running independently ensure the best crew members are on your site. No operator goes to a job site unsupervised until they have demonstrated the knowledge and judgment the work requires.
Operator Training & Competency Program
Our operators are trained on the equipment they run and the chemicals they handle. Training is documented, current, and verified. New operators work alongside experienced crew before running independently.
Pre-Job Planning & Communication
Every Diamond Valley job begins with documentation completed and clear communication before the unit leaves the yard, including site-specific safety plans, hazard assessments, and job safety analyses tailored to the scope, location, and chemicals involved.
Equipment Safety Standards
Safety features are specified at the equipment level and maintained as part of our fleet management program.
- Onboard emergency showers on acid pumping units
- Flush stations on acid hauling and pumping fleet
- Integrated fire suppression on all hot oiling units
- Emergency shutdown systems on fluid pumping units
- Line restraints and certified high-pressure iron on 10K and 15K units
- Data acquisition on all pressure pumping and fluid pumping units
Continuous Improvement
COR certification requires ongoing internal audits and periodic external audits to maintain standing. Our safety management system is reviewed and updated as industry practices, regulations, and our operational scope evolve.
Active Safety Management
Near misses, incidents, and hazard observations are reported, investigated, and fed back into our active safety management system. The goal is to identify and address root causes.
Acid and Chemical Handling Safety
Diamond Valley operates acid pumping, bulk acid hauling, and chemical injection services — all involving materials that demand specific protective measures at the equipment level. Chemical handling safety is designed into our fleet.
Every acid pumping unit in our fleet is equipped with either an onboard emergency shower or a flush station. Every bulk acid trailer carries an onboard rinse station and dedicated flush tanks for post-pump line clearing. Chemical injection skids are operated with appropriate PPE and hazard controls in place for every deployment.
Operators handling acids and corrosive chemicals receive chemical-specific training before working independently on any acid program.
