Corporate Responsibility
Corporate Responsibility
In keeping with our value of Never Harm, we believe that our employees are our most valuable resource — nothing in our business is more important than ensuring the safety of our people, our contractors, our visitors, and the communities in which we operate.
We believe that all occupational injuries and illnesses can be prevented, and that safety is an integral part of everyone’s job. We are committed to the highest standards of safety performance and have developed an effective safety program to ensure the wellbeing of everyone on our work sites. Surerus employees, contractors, and visitors are expected to abide by our eight primary safety commitments:
-
Our work is never so urgent or important that we cannot take the time to do it safely. -
All occupational injuries and illnesses are preventable.
-
Everyone is obligated to refuse unsafe work.
-
Everyone is obligated to raise concerns about hazards.
-
All levels of supervision are accountable for safety performance.
-
Employee and contractor commitment is essential to safety performance.
-
Excellence in safety leads to excellence in business.
-
Safety attitude off the job is as important as on the job.
Safety Culture
Safety is a paramount priority for Surerus across all aspects of our business and pipeline projects. We understand that the well-being of our employees, the environment, and the communities we serve is of utmost importance. Surerus diligently implements rigorous safety protocols and procedures, continuously monitors our effectiveness, and actively engages our entire organization to create a culture of safety excellence. By placing safety at the forefront of our operations, Surerus demonstrates our unwavering commitment to responsible and sustainable construction practices.
Training & Competency
We leverage the Surerus Murphy Joint Venture Training and Development Team to promote employee advancement and organizational effectiveness through high-quality training programs, materials, and support for both project teams and corporate staff. Our competency-based training programs are designed or selected to meet individual, project, group, and organizational needs and objectives. We strive to enhance individual learning and development to establish an optimal workplace environment where the values of safety and quality are paramount.
Surerus’ corporate curriculum includes instructor-led training courses, numerous e-learning modules and blended training programs that combine the best of both, as well as tools that support on-the-job training in the field. All of our training programs are delivered with the goal of leaving an impact.

The Surerus environmental team is integral to our early project planning phases and once in the field, they are typically the first to arrive and the last to leave. These key personnel coordinate relevant activities and ensure environmental compliance with project-specific plans, regulations, and best management practices. They ensure mitigation strategies are implemented and that field staff are aware of any environmental risks associated with daily activities. All construction personnel participate in a pre-phase meeting to identify environmentally sensitive features, avoidance and mitigation measures, location of spill response equipment, and review any site-specific environmental plans. Environmental issues and any necessary mitigation strategies are relayed to site-specific workers at the daily tailgate meeting so that they may be deployed successfully in the field.
