Vehicle Collisions
Flammable gases, such as well gases, vapours, and hydrogen sulphide, can
be released from wells, trucks, production equipment or surface equipment
such as tanks and shale shakers.
Ignition sources can include static, electrical energy sources, open flames,
lightning, cigarettes, cutting and welding tools, hot surfaces, and frictional
heat.
The following documents provide guidance on recognizing and controlling
these hazards:
Well Site Ignition Sources: Lists sources of ignition at well sites and possible
controls.
Hot Work, Fire, and Explosive Hazards: Covers hazards associated with
performing hot work at oil and gas well sites.
Potential Flammability Hazard Associated with Bulk Transportation of Oilfield
Exploration and Production (E&P) Waste Liquids: Alerts oil and gas facilities
about the flammability of oilfield waste liquids.
Static Electricity Buildup in Plastic Pipe: Addresses the potential for static
Falls
Fall protection required to prevent falls from the mast, drilling platform,
and other elevated equipment
Fall Protection: Addresses fall control and specific standards for general
industry and construction.
Falls: Covers sources of slips, trips, and fall hazards in the oil and gas
industry.
Walking and Working Surfaces and Fall Protection: Covers slips, trips,
and fall hazards in the oil and gas industry
Confined Spaces
Confined Space: Covers confined space entry in the oil and gas
extraction industry.
Ergonomic Hazards
Risk factors and the resulting injuries can be minimized or, in many
cases, eliminated through interventions such as pre-task planning, use
of the right tools, proper placement of materials, education of workers
about the risk, and early recognition and reporting of injury signs and
symptoms.
Strains and sprains: Lists solutions for preventing strains and sprains in
the oil and gas industry.
Compressed Gas and Equipment: Reviews standards and hazardcontrol measures associated with compressed gas and equipment.
Machine Hazards
Caught-Between: Covers sources of caughtbetween hazards at oil and gas drilling sites.
