DSL Announces Hat-trick of QHSE Milestones at OTC

Derrick Services (UK) Ltd (DSL), an Oil & Gas industry construction and engineering company, has displayed its commitment to upholding the highest possible quality, health and safety standards by reaching a hat-trick of prestigious industry milestones.

DSL, which has an Aberdeen base and is exhibiting at OTC on the EIC UK Pavilion, stand 2641-F, has passed its annual API (American Petroleum Institute) audit, an internationally-recognised assessment, where its quality management systems (QMS) exceeded API’s requirements. As a result, DSL has been issued new certifications for ISO/TS 29001, ISO 9001:2008 and API Specification Q1.

DSL QHSE manager Max Simmons said: “A surveillance audit of DSL’s QMS carried out by API representatives recently with excellent results for DSL. The outcome reflects favourably on our capabilities and our pursuit of continuous improvement of our management systems.”

DSL is also currently the UK’s only API 4F & 8C licensed company for the design, manufacture, inspection and repair/upgrade of drilling structures.

As of the beginning of April, DSL achieved a significant health and safety landmark by recording one full year with no Lost Time Incidents (LTI’s), which is testament to the dedication and investment the firm shows to its health and safety training.

DSL has also recently been confirmed as qualified in the Achilles Joint Qualification System (JQS) as suppliers to the Oil Industry in Norway and Denmark, for a number of products and services including rope access and decommissioning and abandonment services.

DSL managing director Mike Smith said: “These achievements shows our health & safety standards are among the best in the industry and our range of industry accreditations and API Licences leaves no doubt about our standards to the fundamental issues such as quality, HSE and integrity of service.”

In addition to OTC, DSL will be exhibiting on the EIC UK Pavilion at Brasil Offshore at Macae in June and in Aberdeen at Offshore Europe in September.

The company predominately supports drilling contractors and operators and is committed to providing turnkey solutions and a wide range of specialist services for drilling structures and drilling rigs supported through strategically based international operations.
