No matter how skilled an Island Operator is, there is always an opportunity to learn more, sharpen existing skills, and aspire to do better. Improved training and procedures mean progress. Progress means increased productivity. 

Here at Island Operating, we extensively and continually train our employees with the focus on safety and we empower every employee to make the necessary decisions whenever safety may be compromised. An employee’s Stop Work Authority (SWA) is a proven safety measure that has optimized performance.
