To help workers and employers better
understand the hazards in the oil and gas industry, OSHA Training Institute
Education Centers nationwide are offering the OSHA #5810 Hazards Recognition
and Standards for On-Shore Oil and Gas Exploration and Production course. OSHA
developed this course through a cooperative effort with the Rocky Mountain
Education Center and industry professionals.
The oil and gas industry employs more than
450,000 workers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that in 2012 alone,
more than 2,400 workers were injured and 181 more were killed, which is five
times higher than the national average.
The course provides essential information
to help workers and employers in all phases of on-shore oil and gas exploration
and production recognize, evaluate, and control hazards common to the industry.
For more information on this and other classes, please visit the OTI Education
Centers' searchable schedule.
