Our culture is built on people like Patricia and Kristian—people who do the right thing, even when it’s not easy. Recently, while serving as confined space attendants, Patricia Lomeli and Kristian Murphy were placed in a situation where they were asked to perform dual safety roles without the proper support or permitting in place.
Recognizing the risk, they refused the unsafe request and immediately escalated the concern to site supervision, reinforcing Apache’s commitment to safety — where hole watch responsibilities must be properly planned, permitted, and clearly defined before work proceeds.
Their actions were a textbook example of using Stop Work Authority the right way — confidently, respectfully, and with the safety of everyone in mind.
💬 “Both employees display true professionalism by doing the unseen work with the same dedication as the spotlight tasks. Whether standing guard at a confined space or keeping the site clean, the commitment to safety and excellence defines a great team member. Great Job Ladies.”
— Ronald Pete
From confined space entry monitoring and gas checks to maintaining clean, organized work areas and upholding OSHA compliance, Patricia and Kristian lead by example. Their alertness, professionalism, and communication help create a safer, more efficient work environment for everyone around them.
👏 Thank you, Patricia and Kristian, for standing tall when it mattered most. Your commitment to safety and your team is exactly what ALL IN looks like.
