Burning is a simple chemical reaction in which oxygen from the atmosphere reacts rapidly with a substance, producing heat. New personnel are often assigned work activities in potentially hazardous areas with only very limited training about gas hazards and the use of gas detection equipment. Flammable and toxic gas hazards are generally well understood by operators, technicians and safety personnel in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries, continuous training and refreshment of knowledge is essential to avoid potential incidents caused by complacency. Keywords: Drilling, occupational safety, hazard, chemicals, workplaceĪir is a mixture of gases, but because its composition is reasonably constant it is usually considered as a single gas, which simplifies the measurement of toxic and flammable gases for safety and health applications. The aim of occupational safety and health risk management is to identify and assess safety and health hazards existing at the workplace and to define appropriate control and retrieval steps. Other hazards include confined spaces that may injury or threaten life of untrained workers. Those exposed to hazardous noise levels may suffer noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Oil and gas workers exposed to chemicals produced and used in oil and gas industry may suffer occupational diseases of lungs, skin and other organs at levels relying on the amount and length of exposure time. The three best practices to help prevent injury and death are: active monitoring for hydrogen-sulfide gas good planning and training programs for workers. Oil and gas wells can release hydrogen sulfide and expose workers to hydrogen-sulfide gas. In Oil and gas industry, during the well drilling and other service activities involve the use and production of potential hazards. 135, East Coast Road, Kanathur, Chennai-603 112Ībstract – This paper deals with the hazards and safety issues and its management practices in Oil and gas industry.
