A Year Without Safety Incidents: What It Takes
How shared accountability and local expertise drive results
The start of the year offers a natural moment to pause and reflect on what's working—and in 2025, a lot worked. Delta Western recorded zero safety reportable incidents, a milestone that reflects the everyday practices and principles that anchor our work.
This moment doesn't signal a change in direction so much as a renewed focus on what's guided us for more than 40 years: delivering fuel across Alaska with care, consistency, and a deep respect for the communities and environments we serve.
Looking ahead, we remain committed to the values that define how we operate statewide.
Keeping Safety at the Center
Keeping safety at the center of our work starts with shared responsibility. At Delta Western, that commitment is guided by our SAVE program (Safety: Alaska’s Value Everyday), which reinforces safe decision-making, clear communication, and accountability across all operations.
Regular safety meetings help teams align on conditions, equipment, and potential risks, while a clear Stop Work Authority empowers employees to pause work and speak up when something doesn’t look right. These practices are supported by ongoing training, incident prevention efforts, and continuous review of best practices.
That focus matters—and this year's results show SAVE in action.
Showing Up Across Alaska
Delta Western’s work spans communities throughout the state, and local knowledge matters. Our teams bring firsthand understanding of the area’s terrain, weather, and logistical realities, and that experience that informs careful planning and dependable service.
That presence translates into attention to detail, responsiveness, and pride in supporting the places where we live and work.
Protecting What Powers Us
Delta Western operates in full compliance with EPA, ADEC, OSHA, and DOT regulations and maintains safeguards designed to prevent spills, support rapid response, and ensure clean, well-managed operations. These practices are reinforced through communication and accountability at every level of the organization.
By maintaining high standards and responding quickly when circumstances change, we work to protect the regions we serve, and the trust placed in us by our neighbors.
Looking Ahead
Delta Western remains guided by the same values that have defined our work for decades: working safely and delivering dependable service statewide.
