Our Commitment to Doing it Right the FIRST TIME
The Commitment of BlueFin staff and management to Quality, Health, Safety, and Environmental (QHSE) Management is recognized as being a critical aspect of delivering projects and services effectively and efficiently.
Our QHSE Management System Policy represent the foundation of this commitment by applying an overarching QHSE Management System that delivers on our duty of care to our staff, our customers, and the wider community.
ISO 45001 & ISO 9001 Certified
To ensure that we focus on doing it right the first time, both in the quality of work that we provide and in the relentless pursuit of delivering zero incident projects for ourselves and our clients, BlueFin has formally obtained certification to the requirements of ISO 9001 (Quality Management) and ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System standard.

These certifications recognize the use of a systematic process-based approach to quality and safety management, customer satisfaction and continuous improvement in BlueFin’s core delivery areas of pipeline, process and industrial field Services
Quality, Health, Safety & Environmental Policy Statement
What Does 100% Employee-Owned ESOP mean for Our Clients?
As of June 2023, BlueFin is now a 100% employee-owned Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) operated as a trust for the benefit of its employees. The ESOP marks the turning of a critical page in the history of GATE Energy and the family of companies that it represents. We are now a new business, with new owners, whose formation has opened new possibilities for how we do our work and how we plan and build for the future. GATE Energy and BlueFin see ownership as a key motivational and alignment tool for employees and management. An ESOP also:
Incentivizes employees to see the business grow and prosper
Aligns with our values and a people-first culture
Rewards employees at all levels
Ensures everyone across all companies and the globe is aligned with what is best for all
From a client's perspective, the value of working with an ESOP company entails having staff with a true sense of ownership, continuity of top talent, continuous improvement, commitment to safety, collaboration, and quality delivery. All employees have a stake in the future growth of the company, staying true to our values, and building dedicated clients. The ESOP is a powerful tool to retain top talent and continue to grow through the energy transition.
Behavioral Based Safety
Our behavioral based safety program is designed to achieve a transformation from isolated reporting of issues to a more holistic approach by observing one another to promote awareness and correct behavioral practices. We promote giving each other feedback on performance and encourage improvement while also noting a behavior that may not be desirable.
By monitoring one another’s progress and holding each other to a higher standard of behavior, we improve ourselves by encouraging good practices and helping to eliminate those behaviors that can be detrimental to our organization, our customers, the public, and our goals.
Trend analysis helps to monitor this progress and by doing so, can virtually predict where we need to focus our attention. Reporting these trends throughout the organization allows each individual to compare theoretical issues to actual trending performances.
Personnel Training
At BlueFin, we regard operator training as priority standards which measure one’s ability to perform specific tasks, functions, and roles. We believe that everyone is accountable for knowing their job responsibility, their task at hand, the risks such tasks entail, and how to manage and curtail those risks. We believe in training people throughout our entire organization, from our shop mechanics to our field technicians and supervisors, for every possible situation.
Operator training is customized and specific to our equipment, our policies, and our processes. Operator training is performed by BlueFin managers. Supervisors and lead technicians oversee field technicians in the duration of jobs, in order to ensure their skill set and competence level prior to performing the work individually.
Our goal is to ensure that all employees are fully trained, aware of, and know how to handle the different situations that occur on projects. This education and knowledge enables our technical group to provide the safest operation throughout each individual project.
Quality Management System
A quality management system organizes, measures, and records the processes that are identified by an organization to have a specific priority and value metric. The QMS should, furthermore, support the company’s forward strategy by incorporating an improvement and audit process.
BlueFin’s commitment to such quality assurance and control remains visible to our customers, and the results show in our organization’s success and strength in the market.
Such industry benchmarks are popularly touted but rarely unobtainable in the service energy markets. Our promise to focus on a system that delivers excellence to our customers and employees will remain a priority.
The keys to our success are simple.
Pay attention to those around you. Consider your fellow team member. Execute tasks with mental awareness and clarity. Practice Stop Work Authority.
