Oil & Gas Industry

It’s no secret that oil and gas extraction can be a dangerous job if performed incorrectly. Vehicle collisions, entrapment, falls, ergonomic hazards and being struck by moving equipment are some of the main causes for death and injury in the oil and gas industry.

According to OSHA, “three of every five on-site fatalities in the oil and gas extraction industry are the result of struck- by/caught-in/caught-between hazards” (OSHA IMIS Database). Moving vehicles, equipment, falling equipment, and high-pressure lines can all create danger.

Identifying and monitoring certain hazards is necessary to minimize the risk of incidents on the job. If your contractors and laborers are armed with knowledge about OSHA safety standards, they can make smarter decisions as they work and flag potential risks before they become dangerous.

Operating in a high-risk industry should not be a barrier to safety performance. Safety starts with commitment. AW Safety Services believes earning a living should never require getting hurt – or worse.
