When you put a contractor on location, you’re putting your name behind them. Every crew member, every piece of equipment, every decision made on that job site reflects on you. Lucky Services has been earning that trust since 1986. Not by talking about safety compliance standards, but by building them into how we hire, how we train, and how we work every day.
Lucky Services is active and in good standing on both ISNetworld and Veriforce – the platforms most Permian Basin operators use to verify contractor qualifications. Our drug and alcohol screening program meets operator requirements. We accommodate third-party screenings at the oil company’s preference.
Compliance is where we start. It’s not where we stop.
Some contractors have a safety binder. Lucky Services has a safety team.
Our safety program is led by a full-time Safety Director and supported by a Senior Safety Coordinator and two field Safety Coordinators who work on location. Not behind a desk. All three field representatives are bilingual in English and Spanish, ensuring clear communication with every crew member on every job.
Three in-house PEC-certified trainers conduct all onboarding, annual refresher training, and monthly safety meetings. New hires go through a two-day orientation before they set foot on a job site. Every returning employee completes an annual one-day refresher. And every month, the whole team comes together to review what’s happening in the field: current industry incidents, seasonal hazards, and prevention measures specific to the work we’re doing.
Not every contractor on the Permian Basin does this. We do.
Before any Lucky Services employee works a job, they hold:
All supervisors complete Safe Supervisor training (PEC certified) and are held to the same PPE and conduct standards as their crews. On a Lucky Services’ job site, leadership sets the example.
All certifications are tracked and maintained internally.
Well-maintained equipment isn’t just a compliance requirement. It’s what gives a crew confidence in the tools they use. Lucky Services’ pulling units and field equipment are inspected monthly by in-house safety staff. Tubing lines and lifting equipment are inspected to API standards. Every inspection is documented, and every finding gets addressed: within 30 days as a standard, and immediately if the issue is safety-critical.
The mentality we instill in every crew member: you see it, you own it. If something doesn’t look right on a rig, on a truck, or on location, the expectation is that you say something and follow through. Safety isn’t the safety team’s job alone. It’s everyone’s.

Every Lucky Services crew member has stop-work authority, and they know leadership will back them when they use it. If something on location doesn’t look right, our crews are trained and trusted to stop, speak up, and address it. If pressure escalates, Lucky management steps in. Our people are never left to navigate that alone.
That protects your crew, your well, and your operation. A contractor who won’t stop a job is a contractor who will eventually cost you far more than a lost day of production.
Lucky crews use observation cards in the field to document and address potential hazards in real time: on location, professionally, without talking down to anyone. Issues are fixed on the spot, documented, and reviewed at the next safety meeting. The crew member who flagged it gets recognized. That’s how you build a culture where people keep speaking up.
Lucky Services is recognized by the New Mexico Workforce Commission as a Return to Work Champion. When a crew member is injured, our safety representatives stay in contact with the employee and their family through recovery, not just while they’re on the clock. Bilingual support ensures that communication reaches every member of our team.
Getting to and from the job site is where most daily risk lives. Every Lucky Services vehicle is equipped with forward-facing and cab-facing cameras and GPS monitoring that tracks speed and hard-braking events. Driving performance is reviewed at monthly safety meetings: good behavior is recognized, and problems are addressed directly. The commentary driving program in new hire orientation reflects the same commitment. Road safety isn’t a policy we hand someone and forget. It’s something we train, track, and talk about continuously.
Lucky Services is an active member of the Safety Council and the Road Coalition. Operators have recognized our crews at their own quarterly safety meetings. When customers want to attend our safety meetings or contribute briefings of their own, we welcome it. A shared investment in safety makes for a better job site and a stronger working relationship.
If you need a workover contractor you can put your name behind, call Lucky Services. We’ve been working in the Permian Basin for nearly 40 years, and safety is part of why operators keep coming back.
