They're still pretty rabid about accidents (they have other QHSE posters all over the place with photographs and schematics of accidents involving Schlumberger employees) but I don't think they actually fire people for that (unless it's a case of drunk driving or something). And I can understand the part about wells; you don't get a second chance with those things. If you blow your charges to high up in the well, you're pretty likely to flood the reservoir and lose a couple of hundred billion dollars' worth of oil or gas, not to mention waste the entire exploration and drilling costs. Then again, I've been told the European region is more lax with these things (and discipline in general) than the American region, so YMMV.
