In the oil and gas extraction industry, managing risks and ensuring worker safety is of utmost importance, a responsibility often overseen by HSE advisors, who strictly abide to OSHA standards and OSHA 1910 Walking-Working Surfaces.
A major focus within the industry is on confined space safety, particularly in environments such as petroleum storage tanks, where workers face hazards like asphyxiation and chemical exposure. This highlights the broader theme of safety in the oil and gas industry, which encompasses a range of challenges from working on high platforms and drilling platforms to operating around pedestal cranes and navigating low fall clearance areas due to machinery.
Fallprotec offers tailored solutions to mitigate these risks, with products like the Securail Pro, Securope, SafeAccess and tripod systems that are designed to enhance safety for oil and gas industry. The SafeAccess rigid rail is ATEX certified for potential explosive atmosphere.
