PPE Safety: Know Your Daily Work Hazards in Oil & Gas and Mining

The oil and gas and mining industries are renowned for being among the most hazardous work environments for industrial workers. These workers routinely carry out a broad range of specialist tasks in varying environmental conditions and in the presence of physical agents and an overabundance of manually demanding tasks.

This means that workers are more susceptible to a greater range of injury types than many other occupations. Therefore, it’s crucial for safety managers to analyse and understand the risks that are present in any work environment as a way to minimise injuries and maximise worker safety.
