How to improve safety for oil and gas extraction sites

We’ve outlined some ways to address the hazards of an oil or gas extraction site and make sure you comply with the relevant safety regulations.

Provide protective equipment

Working on an oil rig or a gas pipeline requires plenty of personal protection, including helmets, ear defenders, respirators, and harnesses for working at height. Fire-retardant and hi-vis clothing is essential, along with safety boots and oil-repellent gloves for maximum dexterity.

Create non-slip surfaces

For oil rigs in particular, slippery surfaces are a common danger. We supply products such as non-slip walkway and floor grating, anti-slip footway boards and stair treads, and floor mats to minimise the risk of accidents.

Stabilise machinery

Gas and oil extraction involves heavy machinery, and you can help to avoid safety issues by providing a more stable surface for the equipment. For example, outrigger mats enable you to distribute the weight of machinery when you’re using it on soft or uneven ground.

Control site traffic

Cordon off restricted areas and keep workers and the public safe by implementing traffic management on your site. Barriers, wheel chocks, and height restrictors prevent vehicles and people from straying into the wrong places.
