Our managers are more aware of the potential risks...
Your strategies will ultimately improve the lives of anyone...
“On behalf of Akita Drilling, Thank you for the informative and motivating presentation on Best Practices for Fatigue Risk Management for our Rig Managers and Management Team. Your ability to maintain the interest of the group for the complete session is a credit to your excellent speaking and presenting ability. The material is interesting and meaningful and your strategies will ultimately improve the lives of anyone that applies them. I was extremely pleased that you included proper nutrition as an important way to maintain and improve health conditions. Most people are unaware of sleep patterns and effective rest, your session is an excellent way to get informed.
Working in the oil patch has always been hard on our workers, they work long hours with shortages of proper rest, improper eating habits and constant stress to get the job done. With your afternoon presentation, our managers are more aware of the potential risks that are applying to their health every day. Without health you have nothing. “Dr. Melnychuk will inspire you to take better care of yourself”.”

The needs of our employees were met...
“As part of the upstream oil and gas industry’s initiative on fatigue management, Dr. Don Melnychuk, on behalf of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP), presented at seven fatigue management workshops for the industry. Don, we thank you for providing exceptional workshops that were both informative and entertaining. All workshops across Western Canada were well received with participants claiming that they gained valuable information and tools. A number of CAPP’s members have since brought you into their own organizations to conduct similar workshops; this speaks to the satisfaction of the participants. The delivery of your workshops was professional, passionate and overall very successful. You are an excellent presenter and you were able to keep the audience intrigued. I would highly recommend you to others seeking a workshop on fatigue management.”
