Each of the rules can be used as a focal point for team training and communication.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Save Lives.<br>Reduce Costs.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to enter in your text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BOOK A FREE DEMO \u2192<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9 Life Saving Rules to share with your oil and gas team<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following nine rules&nbsp;are based on data of activities which have been the cause of&nbsp;most&nbsp;fatalities<br>in this industry. It is vital that you share these with your team and third-party contractors,&nbsp;as well&nbsp;as&nbsp;the&nbsp;recommended actions<br>to help prevent fatalities.&nbsp;Workers should not be permitted to start work on-site until&nbsp;these rules are<br>discussed.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Bypassing safety controls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This rule focuses on ensuring all safety controls are in place and specific procedures are always followed by your teams. Workers and third-party contractors must have a full<br>understanding of the equipment they use and the required procedures. They must also&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iogp.org\/life-savingrules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">get permission before disabling safety equipment, not<br>following procedures, or crossing a barrier. &nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Human error is only natural. By ensuring this rule is followed, you can help to strengthen your organization\u2019s safety culture and sense of accountability for each other\u2019s safety.<br>Learn more on this in our guide on Human and Organizational Performance:&nbsp;<em>How to Strengthen Your Safety Management System with Human and<br>Organizational Performance<\/em>. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Confined space<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Confined spaces are a major risk as they could contain noxious gases, harmful chemicals or could even cave in. Workers and third-party contractors<br>must&nbsp;ask&nbsp;permission&nbsp;before&nbsp;entering a confined space&nbsp;and be extremely careful when inside such areas. A rescue plan must be<br>in&nbsp;place&nbsp;and someone must be close by,&nbsp;in case something happens. The space must be tested and assessed for hazards<br>and energy sources must be isolated. Workers must also use their&nbsp;breathing masks if needed.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Driving<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Transportation incidents result in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/mmwr\/preview\/mmwrhtml\/mm6420a4.htm#:~:text=Although%20the%20fatality%20rate%20in,fatality%20rates%20in%20recent%20years.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">two thirds of fatalities<\/a><br>in the oil and gas industry. This includes vehicle crashes due to unsafe driving. This rule highlights the fact that all workers must wear a seatbelt and adhere to speed limits.<br>Workers must also avoid driving when tired or unfit to do so and avoid using phones while on the road at all times.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Practicing safe driving and adhering to these rules can not only help to save your life but also those who may be in the vehicle with you.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Energy isolation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is vital to ensure&nbsp;energy is isolated and all lockout\/tagout procedures are&nbsp;completed&nbsp;before dealing<br>with specific equipment.&nbsp;If this is not done, workers could be subject to electrocution, shocks, burns, and more.&nbsp;For this<br>reason,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imca-int.com\/safety\/life-saving-rules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">all energy sources&nbsp;must be&nbsp;identified, isolated, and\/or locked and<br>tagged out<\/a>, according to the IOGP.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Hot work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fire hazards and ignition sources resulting from hot work, could create a major risk to your employees. Hot work includes any duties or tasks which could result in a fire hazard<br>through various ignition sources, like sparks or flames. To avoid fires, workers should remove any flammable material which may be present and get permission to begin their hot work. They must<br>also control any ignition sources which may be created.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When working in hazardous areas where gases may be present, gas tests must be completed and all gases should be regularly monitored. It is essential that workers conduct these<br>tests to avoid explosions.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Line of fire<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This rule highlights the idea that workers should stay out of harm\u2019s way and help others to do the same. According to the IOGP, this includes avoiding \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iogp.org\/life-savingrules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">moving objects, vehicles, pressure release, and dropped objects<\/a>.\u201d According to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.blacklinesafety.com\/blog\/7-employee-safety-incidents-you-shouldnt-overlook-in-the-oil-gas-industry#:~:text=The%20OSHA%20IMIS%20Database%20reports,equipment%20and%20high-pressure%20lines.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><br>OSHA<\/a>, three out of every five fatalities in this industry are caused by struck by\u2019s or caught in between incidents. They must also not venture into restricted areas and report any dropped<br>objects which may be found in the area.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This rule will also&nbsp;strengthen the safety culture&nbsp;at your organization and<br>create a greater sense of accountability among the workforce for each other\u2019s safety.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Safe mechanical lifting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The workforce is always subject to danger when heavy loads are being lifted.&nbsp;For this&nbsp;reason,<br>safety&nbsp;procedures&nbsp;must be&nbsp;taken during this process. This includes making sure that the equipment being&nbsp;used<br>and the load being lifted have been inspected. The worker must&nbsp;also&nbsp;only use equipment they are trained to use and should never walk under<br>an area where a load is being lifted, respecting all barriers which may be present.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Work authorization<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your teams and third-party contractors should always have the proper permit to work. They must&nbsp;also&nbsp;be given authorization to work on site<br>and assess the area and equipment before starting work. All hazards must be controlled before starting work and&nbsp;should begin when it is safe to do so. It is also vital that when<br>handing work over to other team members, they ensure that all hazards are&nbsp;controlled,&nbsp;and it is safe to begin work.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Working at heights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Falls are a true threat to workers on site&nbsp;when working at heights, with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ohsonline.com\/Articles\/2020\/02\/01\/Avoid-Fatalities-and-Injuries-in-the-Oil-and-Gas-Industry.aspx?Page=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">86% of fatalities<\/a>&nbsp;due to inadequate fall<br>protection.&nbsp;Your entire workforce as well as third-party contractors should know&nbsp;how to properly inspect fall protection equipment and use it when necessary. They must<br>also&nbsp;only use approved anchor points and prevent objects from failing while working at heights.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can EcoOnline Help?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The EcoOnline solution can help keep your workforce safe with its dynamic capabilities relating to the 9 life saving rules:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bypassing Safety Controls:<\/strong>&nbsp;Explore 100+ hazard categories and descriptions, 40+ controls, and customizable risk ratings with the EcoOnline EHS management solution\u2019s<br>hazard assessment module.
