  • Alarm Monitoring

The most important feature that an answering service can offer your oil business is increased safety. It’s no secret that the oil field is extremely dangerous. Just one slip-up can have catastrophic consequences on a rig. What do you do if an emergency were to occur after hours or without a supervisor on site? An answering service like Dexcomm can provide constant vigilance over your operations thanks to 24/7/365 service. Our round-the-clock assistance provides a safeguard that all calls will be answered and all emergency protocols followed in the event of an incident.

  1. OSHA Compliance

OSHA compliance is of utmost importance for both your business and your answering service. It is critical for proper safety procedures to be followed in the event of emergencies. An answering service can provide the support needed to make sure that these protocols are adhered to and correctly carried out. An answering service can be used to report workplace incidents and injuries, and will automatically route calls to the HSE.

  • Increasing Efficiency and Smooth Operations

Do you ever feel like menial tasks get in the way of your actual work? Answering phone calls for orders and delivery logistics can feel that way while more important tasks are forced to wait. The majority of calls that most oil and gas companies receive in a day are customers asking simple questions. At best these calls can be a bit annoying, and at worst they can shut down whole processes as an answer is sought. An answering service can assist with taking those calls off your hands so that your employees can give their full attention to more pressing matters. Our agents are thoroughly trained on not just the ins and out of the oil and gas industry, but your specific company as well. You can be sure that every call to your business will be answered by a friendly, knowledgeable operator.
