Coronavirus (COVID-19) Response

RIGCHINA Group continues to focus on safety. Learn about our virus outbreak response within the company and the communities where we live and work.

Safety is a core priority for RIGCHINA Group. We embrace a safety mindset and build it into how we work. That is why we were able to take a proactive approach to COVID-19 outbreak response, quickly implementing a comprehensive outbreak management plan and adapting our work practices.

Our impact does not stop at the site or the office door—we also have initiatives that are contributing to the safety of the people in the communities where we live and work.
