Why do oilfield accidents happen?
Oilfield accidents occur for many reasons, and most of them are entirely preventable. The common causes we see:
- Inadequate communication of safety procedures and training
- Failure to comply with safety standards and procedures
- Carelessness in training employees and visitors correctly
- Neglecting to replace or maintain faulty equipment
- Insufficient equipment maintenance and inspection
- Improper construction of equipment and safety features
- Unsuitable pipes, lines, and storage units with cracks and fissures
- Improper storage of hazardous materials
- Failure to provide correct personal protective equipment (PPE)
- Lack of proper fire safety equipment and gear
- Inadequate training for specific job tasks
When failures like these contribute to an accident, it is crucial to hold those responsible accountable for their negligence.
