Business is booming in the oil and gas industry. And an increased number of workers on rigs, at refineries and in other dangerous working environments translates to more workers at risk on the job.
Among the many dangers faced by oil and gas workers is exposure to hazardous chemicals, putting workers at risk for injuries that include chemical burns from caustic substances. It is imperative that workers have quick access to an emergency drench shower and eyewash in case an incident occurs. Specifying emergency equipment for some locales may be straightforward, but many worksites in the oil and gas arena present certain challenges to consider when choosing and installing equipment.
