Open Work Environment on TAPS

Every day our professional workforce continues to deliver high safety and quality standards to maintain integrity in all business practices. Our internal work environment is held to these same high standards. Providing a positive, open work environment within a culture of safety is a responsibility that we take very seriously.

Alyeska is committed to an Open Work Environment (OWE) in which TAPS’ employees work together to ensure and maintain safety, system integrity and environmental protection. Barrier free issue reporting is a fundamental principal behind OWE, ensuring that all individuals working on TAPS feel free to, and are willing to, raise issues, concerns and questions regarding the operations of TAPS. We value and respect differing professional opinions and believe inquisitive viewpoints and challenging minds are imperative in situations where safety is our ultimate concern. I am confident in management’s ability to respond to concerns and deal with them appropriately. Additionally, I will ensure that there are effective alternative avenues for employees to raise concerns that are unable to be resolved through management. Further, I am available to help resolve any issues that cannot be addressed through other means.

Developing and maintaining consistent accountability is a fundamental priority here at Alyeska, as well as a critical element of OWE. I will continue to make certain our workforce is equipped with necessary resources and training to promote teamwork and cross-department success. We intend to create an environment where continuous improvement and innovation is valued, strong leadership and accountability is well represented at every level – and our culture of safety and integrity continues to be a prominent cornerstone in our business practices.
