Introduction
One of the most varied businesses in the world is the oil and gas sector. It is a multidisciplinary industry with intricate onshore and offshore operations. Highly combustible and dangerous materials and gases are used in oil and gas operations. Due to the hazardous nature of oil and gas, operational safety must get special attention to ensure that all employees are protected at work.
Employees working with machines, equipment, and tools in complex operations require thorough safety education and training. Because oilfield operations, whether onshore or offshore, take place in a hazardous environment, oil and gas operational safety is always crucial.
