Working in the oil and gas industry comes with
its share of risks. Its no wonder that it is one
of the more dangerous occupations worldwide.
However, the industry has been striving to
improve, and statistics show a positive trend in
workplace safety with reduced fatality risks. In
2019, the International Association of Oil Gas
Producers (IOGP) reported 25 fatalities spread
across 22 separate incidents. While any loss of
life is a tragedy, the numbers show a slight
improvement from 2018, when there were 31 fatal
incidents. So, how can companies ensure they
meet the industrys safety standards? Lets
explore some effective strategies to enhance
safety practices and protect the well-being of
your workforce.
3
The Most Prominent Fatality Causes
One significant area of concern is the so-called
caught in, under, or between incidents, which
resulted in 12 fatalities in 2019. While its
positive to see fatalities decline, too many
lives remain on the line. The industry still has
a long way to go and must take serious steps to
reduce these numbers even more. The incidents
cause immense pain and suffering for the victims
and their families, but they also tarnish the
industrys reputation.
This comes secondary, but the accidents also take
a toll on productivity and finances. According to
the IOGP report, the companies surveyed reported
21,899 days of work lost due to injuries. The
focus should remain on creating a safer working
environment and minimising risks to protect the
people involved and to keep the industry thriving.

• Develop a Safety Program That Brings Workers on
  Board

Lets create a workplace where open communication
and mutual respect thrive! Who better understands
the ins and outs of an oil rigs risks than the
individuals who have faced these challenges
firsthand? Lets take a personal approach to
safety training, giving workers the time and
space to get to know everything and each other.
One such idea is personalised safety training
videos. Just like the one we made for Foresight!
When we build stronger personal connections
among team members, were not just fostering
trust but forging a sense of camaraderie that
makes all the difference. Together, well remake
your rig into a place where everyone looks out
for one another, with a supportive and secure
environment for all.

• Work with Local Emergency Services

Lets strengthen the bond between the oil and gas
industry and local emergency response services to
create a safer working environment! When
emergency responders, rig hands, and company
health and safety professionals work hand in
hand, they become a formidable force ready to
tackle any challenge that comes their way. By
fostering better communication and cooperation,
they can pool their resources and expertise,
ensuring swift and effective responses to
emergencies.

• Employ Housekeeping Rules

How about decluttering floors, pathways, and work
areas to prevent trips and falls? Even the most
minor hazard triggers shouldnt be ignored when
striving to make a safer workplace these small
things can quickly become more significant
problems. Keep an eye on health and safety data
to gain valuable insights into potential risks
and devise a plan to address them effectively.

• Implement Workplace Familiarity

Safety training is a must for all workers.
Employees should have a firm grasp of their role,
be aware of potential hazards, and know how to
take necessary safety precautions. Effective
communication of procedures and hazards to new
workers is key to keeping everyone informed and
safe. Personalised safety training videos can
make a difference in keeping our workforce
well-prepared and protected!

• Monitor Mental Health

A positive workplace culture is vital for safety.
It fosters a sense of community and trust among
workers, where everyone feels free to voice their
opinions and concerns. This way, the employees
are more inclined to ask for help, follow safety
rules, admit mistakes, and seek advice. Its all
about building a solid, caring team that looks
out for one another! Develop an internal HR team
that is always there to talk to, track and record
any problems the workers can report, and allow
for a healthy flow of information.

• Implement Proper Signs

Labels and colour coding are superheroes in
workplace communication! They help direct, warn,
and share important info with our hard working
crew. By colour-coding materials, tools, and
equipment, we can make everything a breeze to
find! Keep an eye out for worn-out, hard-to-read,
or outdated signs. Its crucial to replace them
with fresh, clear ones. And dont forget about
our floor markings! Give them a little touch-up
when needed to keep our workplace running
smoothly and safely!

• Implement Safety Checks and Maintenance Routines

Now, lets talk about those mighty machines! Out
on the offshore rigs, theyre lifelines for our
hard working crew, miles away from the shore. To
keep them running like clockwork and ensure the
safety of our workers, regular maintenance checks
are the name of the game! Preventing premature
machine failure is key to a smooth and secure
operation. Lets give the machines some care and
love they deserve!

• An In-Vehicle Monitoring System (IVMS) Is a Must.

Lets hit the road to safety! In this industry,
accidents while driving or riding in vehicles are
a serious concern. Weve got our eyes on the
road, monitoring driver behaviour like pros! By
identifying any issues and bad habits, we can
pinpoint where improvements are needed in our
vehicle safety programs. Forklift safety cameras
are one tool that can help us with the effort.
Safety first, always!
