Oil rig hazards include slips, trips, and falls due to the often slippery and uneven surfaces, as well as heavy machinery accidents that can lead to severe injuries or fatalities. Workers are also exposed to toxic substances, such as hydrogen sulfide and other chemicals, which can cause respiratory issues and other health problems. Additionally, the risk of fires and explosions is significant due to the flammable nature of oil and gas. Weather conditions can further exacerbate these risks, making safety protocols crucial in mitigating hazards.
