Benzene Gas Detection In The Oil and Gas Industries

Overview: Benzene is an organic chemical compound composed of six carbon atoms bonding with six hydrogen atoms in a circular pattern. It’s usually colorless but can also display a light-yellow color. Benzene has a sweet smell, and it is highly flammable. It is commonly used as an intermediary in plastic, nylon, and resin production. Additionally, […]

Emergency Shower Equipment

Despite all safety precautions, workplace accidents might be inevitable. A quick and accurate response to accidents is crucial to prevent permanent consequences. Occupations that are exposed to hazardous chemicals are particularly at risk since unwanted connections with harmful substances might occur, even with proper eye and skin protection. In workplaces where dangerous materials are utilized, […]

Hearing Hazards

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 22 million workers are exposed to potentially harmful levels of noise each year. Lack of preventative measures or long exposure times may lead to potentially irreversible ear damage, causing temporary or permanent hearing loss. Even though being one of the most encountered workplace threats, hearing […]

Effects of Heat Stress in Open Pit Mining Operations

Heat stress is a common occurrence in open pit mining operations. The heat can be caused by the heat radiating from dark surfaces, or the heat retained by various materials in the open-pit mine. By conducting risk analyses in advance, it is feasible to avoid industrial accidents and the consequences of industrial accidents such as […]

Winter Weather Precautions to Take in the Oil and Gas Industries

Winter is the time of year when cold weather hinders refinery operations, pipelines, and railways. The winter weather creates a number of obstacles for these things to do their job in delivering much-needed fuel to demanding markets. Winter is usually unrelenting with cold temperatures across much of the U.S., which increases demand for space heating […]

Preventing Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome in the oil and gas industry

According to the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OHSA), Hand-Arm Vibration (HAV) is a vibration exposure that mainly affects people who regularly use vibrating pneumatic, electric, hydraulic, and gasoline-powered hand tools. Research and studies going back to 1918 link HAV exposure to a condition of the fingers and hands called Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS). […]

What is the Fire Diamond?

There are many different types of labeling hazardous goods. Each has a distinct role to play, and it’s critical to understand the distinctions between them. NFPA 704 is a standard for hazard identification that was developed to make emergency response decisions easier. It specifies a straightforward, readily recognized, simply understood method for identifying the particular […]

Maintenance of Pneumatic Impact Wrenches

Pneumatic impact wrenches are power tools that do require regular maintenance. Poor lubrication is one of the most common causes of tool decay and failure. Here we will go through certain practices that can help you maintain your tools in better conditions. Work area basics Keep your work area clean and tidy. Cluttered and dirty […]

Main Hazards for Welders in the Oil Industry

Welding is dangerous in many different ways, due to the fact that it may involve work on rigs or operating in the field. Welding hazards can appear at any time and anywhere.
Welders working in the oil and gas sector require personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect themselves from harm. Welders on long-distance pipelines and rigs can work 10-12 hour days, which means their PPE must be both safe and comfortable to wear for extended periods of time.

Keeping Workers Safe: Fall Hazard Prevention

Every day, energy employees face hazardous situations. According to OSHA, the oil and gas sector employs more than 450,000 people in extraction and support—oil and gas workers have the most fall-related injuries, with a rate of 148.9 severe injuries per 100,000 employees.
What are some things we can do to make work sites safer?

Pressure Welding Enclosures (PWE)

A pressurized welding enclosure (PWE) is a fully enclosed area that is safe for welding work near classified environments or otherwise dangerous. Some systems use a computer to control atmospheric monitoring and welding equipment.

Tools for Offshore Grinding

Non-sparking tools are essential in maintenance, operation, and modification jobs. Certain electric, hydraulic or pneumatic tools are indispensable across the board, and especially when performing a job in an Offshore Platform.

Jobs in the Oil and Gas Industry

The natural gas and oil industry is an important source of jobs in the United States. IHS projects that 1.9 million direct job opportunities will be available through 2035, with nearly one million of those being semi-skilled and skilled craft trades positions. With this many potential career opportunities on offer, it’s no wonder that so many people are turning to careers in energy as a means for financial stability and success.
