Safety Practices in the Oil and Gas Industry (Infographic)

Jan. 4, 2018
This infographic can help EHS professionals and workers understand the biggest threats to worker safety, offers background on the current state of the industry and lists the most cited OSHA standards related to the industry.

The oil and gas industry, potentially one of the most hazardous industry sectors in the United States, has one of the most thorough safety programs. The combination of powerful equipment, flammable chemicals and processes that are under high pressure can lead to hazardous and even deadly incidents. That’s why it’s essential for safety managers and supervisors to identify and communicate recommended safety controls and hazards that exist on each work site before work begins.

Graphic Products knows it’s essential for safety managers and supervisors to have the resources they need for optimal safety operations, so the company has released several visual communication resources specifically tailored for the oil and gas industry that include a safety best practices guide, quick safety tip articles, this informative infographic and more.
