Oil and gas well drilling and servicing activities involve a wide range of equipment and materials, and as a result, employees are exposed to a wide range of hazards. It is dangerous to drive to pipelines, pumping stations, and gas sites. According to OSHA, vehicle accidents are the leading cause of fatalities in the oil and gas industry. Explosions and fires, falls, confined spaces, and being struck by/caught-in/caught-between hazards are all unfortunately common. Recognizing and controlling these hazards is critical for preventing injuries and deaths.

Al burag offers a variety of safety products, services, and training that are all tailored to the specific needs of the oil and gas industry.
