Understanding the Risks of the Oil & Gas Industry

The U.S. is home to the fifth-largest natural gas reserve, as well as the ninth-largest oil reserve in the world. The oil and gas industry is responsible for producing hundreds of millions of metric tons of oil and gas each year, and it employs more than 9 million people. Numerous oil and gas industry workers are injured or killed each year in the United States.

Common oil and gas industry accidents include:

• Explosions
• Structural failure
• Fires
• Release of gas
• Equipment failure

Furthermore, falling objects and tripping hazards result in a number of injuries at oil and gas drilling sites every year. Rig collapses, transportation accidents, and electric shocks also pose a serious risk to oil and gas industry workers. According to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), from 2015 to 2016, hundreds of workers suffered severe injuries in the oil and gas industry.

Injuries from oil and gas industry accidents commonly include:
