According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, oilfield injuries are on the rise. A recent study listed Texas as a top three state for oil and gas extraction industry fatalities for workers. When something goes wrong on a well site or a drilling rig, the results are often catastrophic. Falls from the rig or equipment or rig collapses are, if not fatal, causes of permanent potentially life threatening injuries, including spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries. Equipment failures due to defects in manufacturing or design can lead to the loss of fingers, limbs or even life. Blowouts, work rigs, pump jacks and compressor stations are only a few of the areas or situations where injuries can and have occurred in the oilfield.
