Preventing Ergonomic Injuries
More than a third of all accepted disabling claims are sprains/strains and other musculoskeletal disorders.
Although oil and gas work will always include lifting, carrying, and pulling (among others), many contractors have made great strides in preventing these types of injuries through pre-task planning, employee involvement in exercise programs, medical management, and training their crews to recognize risk factors and best practices.
Safety Inspections
One of the best ways employees can participate in the company's safety program is to help conduct safety inspections. This gives employees a greater sense of ownership in safety and it can be a real educational experience too!
Depending on the hazardous nature of the oil and gas on the wellsite, weekly or daily inspections may be needed to effectively identify hazards and unsafe actions.
