Your safety is our priority. Comprehensive guidelines and protocols for oil & gas automation field operations.
Immediate evacuation required if H2S levels exceed 10 PPM. Don personal H2S monitor at all times in designated areas. Move upwind and contact emergency services.
โ 911 + Safety: ext. 100De-energize all systems before maintenance. Use lockout/tagout procedures. Verify with voltage tester. Minimum approach distance of 10 feet from overhead power lines.
โ Emergency: 911Activate nearest pull station. Evacuate to designated muster point. Account for all personnel. Do not re-enter until cleared by emergency responders.
โ 911 + ext. 100Call 911 immediately. Provide exact location coordinates. Administer first aid if trained. Notify site supervisor and safety officer. Do not move injured person unless immediate danger.
โ 911 FirstClass E rated, ANSI Z89.1 compliant. Required at all field sites.
ANSI Z87.1 rated with side shields. Prescription inserts available.
ASTM F2413 rated. Minimum 6" height. Slip-resistant soles.
Cut-resistant Level A2 minimum. Electrical rated for panel work.
Class 2 or 3 ANSI/ISEA 107 compliant. Reflective striping required.
N95 minimum for dust. Full-face SCBA for H2S environments.
Required in areas >85 dBA. Plugs or muffs NRR 25+ rated.
Personal 4-gas detector. LEL, O2, H2S, CO monitoring required.
Arc-rated FR gear required in electrical areas. NFPA 70E compliant.
Toxic gas present in oil & gas operations. Colorless with rotten egg smell at low concentrations. Paralyzes sense of smell at high concentrations. Fatal above 100 PPM. Always wear personal gas monitor and work with a buddy in H2S areas.
Control panels operate at 120/240VAC and higher. Arc flash hazard during energized work. Follow NFPA 70E standards. Use insulated tools and PPE rated for voltage level. Implement lockout/tagout before accessing energized equipment.
LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) monitoring required. No ignition sources within 25 feet of wellheads or tank batteries. Use intrinsically safe equipment only. Eliminate static electricity with proper grounding.
Work at heights >6 feet requires fall protection. Inspect ladders before use. Three points of contact when climbing. Secure all tools to prevent dropped objects. Use guardrails and safety harnesses when working on elevated platforms.
High visibility required near moving equipment. Establish exclusion zones around heavy machinery. Never walk under suspended loads. Maintain radio communication with operators. Use spotters when backing vehicles.
Heat stress in summer (Wyoming/Texas). Cold exposure in winter. Lightning hazards in open areas. Take scheduled breaks, stay hydrated, and monitor weather conditions. Seek shelter during electrical storms.
8-hour certification course. Renewal required every 3 years. Covers detection, PPE, and emergency response.
Standard First Aid with CPR Level C. AED training included. Valid for 2 years.
Permit-required confined space procedures. Gas testing, ventilation, and rescue protocols.
Competent person training for work at heights. Harness inspection and anchor point selection.
Arc flash awareness and shock hazard training. PPE selection and voltage boundaries.
4-hour safety course for company vehicles. Covers rural road hazards and weather conditions.
Job Safety Analysis (JSA) training. Hazard identification and risk assessment in the field.
