Oil and Gas Safety Is A High Priority Concern

Oil workers usually work long hours in inclement conditions, while using large, heavy equipment. Because the actions of  employees affect the crew members that they work with on a rig this can have an effect on the safety of every other worker on the job.
It is important for oil and gas companies to ensure that all workers maintain a high level of safety awareness at all times.

Having employees with an awareness of safety is a necessary first step in reducing accidents, it is important to have an effective strategy and an effective leader. The findings of research into safety show that an uninvolved and passive safety leadership style has negative impacts on employee safety compliance and safety participation behavior.

Being an active and effective safety leader means that those assigned with promoting safety must do so constantly, not occasionally or periodically. When safety leaders are consistent and predictable in their approach to safety, and have an active engagement with other employees about safety and always make it a priority, they are more effective in developing the safety awareness of other employees.
