egardless of the type of project undertaken – onshore
or offshore – an operating company is charged with
providing a safe facility in compliance with standards
of governmental and regulatory bodies. Mustang is consistently
recognized by our industry for attention to personnel safety on
its projects and has received numerous client safety awards for
incident free performance, while working significant manhours.
In addition to its effective Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE)
solutions to provide occupational protection for Mustangers,
clients and vendors, a significant focus is on the development
of safety in design. These functions are the Technical Safety
Engineering Department’s area of expertise.

Studies and Assessments Process Safety – Many of Mustang’s safety engineers come
from chemical engineering backgrounds and have extensive expe-
rience in conducting process hazards analysis (PHA) within all
industry segments. They are skilled at conducting Hazard
Identification Assessments (HAZID) and Hazard and Operability
Studies (HAZOP) using any number of industry recognized or
client specific methodologies. They perform Safety Integrity Level
(SIL) Assessments, utilizing such techniques as a Layers of
Protection Analysis (LOPA). For risk or performance based
designs, Formal Safety Assessments are conducted to evaluate
potential consequences and the likelihood of Major Accident
Hazards. Some examples of these assessments are Quantitative
Risk Assessment (QRA), Fire and Explosion Assessment (FERA),
and Escape, Evacuation, and Rescue Analysis (EERA). The
Technical Safety group works with the client to frame, subcontract,
or conduct in-house the tasks required to support the Hazard

Mustang’s professionals are bolstered by a broad array of
sophisticated software tools to execute this work.

Mustang Plays
a Role in Developing
Green Technologies
The subject of global warming and its potential environmental consequences have
become ever-present discussion points in virtually every form of worldwide media. So far,
there is no universal consensus on what actions need to be taken to address these
sensitive issues. Discussions among worldwide leaders at the United Nations Climate
Change Conference (COP15) in Copenhagen, Denmark held in December 2009,
concluded with a plan to meet again in Mexico in Nov/Dec 2010 and further discuss
potential action plans. The December 2009 summit did, however, bring the world’s most
powerful countries into the discussion and underscored the importance of emissions
reductions. Governments and leading corporations worldwide are realizing the benefits
of creating transportation fuels and electricity from non-traditional renewable energy
sources that reduce the emission of CO2 into the environment. The search has spawned
creative methods of generating power using naturally replenished sources, in addition to
lowering the carbon footprint.

“I Love

ORK is a four-letter word. For many
people, that’s more than a fact of spell- Joseph
ing—it’s an attitude. “Monday, Monday,
can’t trust that day,” sang the Mamas and the
Papas. Then the phrase “TGIF” came along, putting
the weekend on a godlike pedestal.
What’s happening to our attitude? Is it really the
idea of work that we despise? One survey revealed
that 68 percent of Americans—more than two
thirds—don’t like their job. That’s not to say that
they don’t like to work. They just don’t like the
work that they’re doing.

in a ‘dead-end’ job? If so, don’t despair. There are
steps you can take to move one step closer to lov-
