Oil & Gas
Osha Safety Training & Audit.
The oil and gas industry has inherent hazards and risks due to the chemicals used, the processing of chemicals, the use of highly energized equipment, and working at heights and in confined spaces.
Industry Requirements
Oil & Gas Safety Training & Audits
Oil and gas, including chemicals, are integral to human life and needed daily. Chemicals need to be handled with care and respect, requiring proper handling, storage, and processing to prevent incidents, leaks, spills, and releases that could lead to unwanted exposure to personnel, fires, and explosions. Occupational hazards in facilities include falls, trips, minor injuries, and the dangers of working in confined spaces with risks of asphyxiation or chemical exposure.

Safety Programs
Key Industry Hazards Demanding Robust Safety Programs
Some of the major hazards in these industries that require strong safety programs are:
- Fire & Explosions: Caused by mishandling flammable gases and liquids.
- Mishandling of Toxic Materials: Such as Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), which requires proper ventilation, monitoring, and PPE.
- Confined Spaces: Involves working in equipment like tanks, vessels, and pipelines, exposing personnel to chemicals or oxygen-deficient atmospheres, leading to asphyxiation.
- High Pressure Operations: High pressure equipment processing always has risks of releasing pressurized substances.
- Operation of Heavy Machinery: Inherent risk of injuries for workers if equipment is not handled properly.
- Noise Exposure: Always an issue in plants and processing facilities.
- Working at Elevations: Inherent risk of falls and injuries.
