No one should lose their life for a day's wage. Baxter presented from Minot during a three-hour safety discussion that kicked off what the industry calls a safety stand down. Over the next month, companies are asked to shut down operations for a period of time to conduct inspections or provide safety training.

The event began with a video highlighting some recent oil field fatalities in North Dakota, from a year-old who fell 75 feet to his death to a year-old who died after an explosion in a boiler to a year-old who died from a fall during a rig move. Brooks noted there have been two more oil field deaths in North Dakota since he completed the video. Baxter said he gets questions from Washington, D. Workers participated in the event from Minot as well as centers that aired a webcast in Williston, Dickinson, Stanley and New Town.
