Halliburton ( symbol HAL) is concerned about safety. As a result, they created the " Halliburton Life Rules", a set of 10 guidelines that every employee is required to learn. These rules lay the cornerstone for their Journey to Zero program that is designed to achieve positive results not only for the company but also for their employees, customers and communities.
 
The company's concern about safety is understandable since they are a provider of products and services for the oil industry. It was founded in 1919 and based in Houston, Texas. Halliburton recently gained the distinction of being designated an American Hero Company.
 
Halliburton's emphasis on safety is another inspiring example of American Values @ Work.
