Safety Program Buildout
Complete HSE manuals, SOPs, and site-specific plans built for real crews in real conditions — not just for auditors.
Learn MoreVanguard is your Fractional Safety Manager — NEBOSH-certified, field-proven HSE expertise for the contractors who power South Texas, without the cost of a full-time safety hire.
Your ISNetworld grade has a hold. An audit is coming. Your written safety program hasn't been touched since you got it three years ago. Your crews know the work — but the paperwork, the documentation, the compliance overhead? That's where companies get exposed.
The major operators — ExxonMobil, Cheniere Energy, Shell, Phillips 66, Venture Global LNG — they have full HSE departments. You don't. And the gap between what they expect and what most contractors have on paper is exactly where citations happen, where mobilization gets delayed, where contracts get lost.
A serious OSHA violation costs up to $16,550 per citation. Willful or repeated violations reach $165,514. Companies with strong proactive safety programs see up to a 26% reduction in workers' compensation costs. The math isn't complicated — getting ahead of it is always cheaper than cleaning it up after.
Vanguard was built for exactly this gap.

ExxonMobil, Cheniere, Shell, Phillips 66 — they expect programs that match real field conditions.
Programs built for a different scope or three years out of date create real legal exposure.
Without a qualified HSE lead, you're exposed on citations, incidents, and pre-quals.

Learn MoreJesus De La Rosa spent 14 years as HSE Specialist & Facility Supervisor at SLB (Schlumberger), providing HSE support across multiple product lines and supervising facility operations across 87 SLB facilities in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
He's sat across the table from ConocoPhillips, Marathon Petroleum, EOG Resources, Murphy Oil, and Devon Energy. He knows what those operators look for — what gets flagged, what gets cleared, and what a program needs to hold up under real scrutiny. That knowledge now works for contractors, not the majors.

"Everybody talks about being proactive. But when the pressure is all on metrics and recordable rates, the program starts serving the paperwork instead of the people. I've seen training that looked perfect on a completion report and reached nobody. Programs that passed audits and didn't hold up in the field. The gap between what's on paper and what actually protects your crew — that's what I built Vanguard to close. Every engagement starts with the same question: does your safety program actually protect your people, or does it just protect your paperwork?"
Most contractors we talk to already know the answer. Let's find out where the gaps are — at no cost to you.
