PPE for Oil & Gas
That Withstands the Heat, Pressure & Hazards
Equip your crew with flame-resistant, impact-resistant, and certified PPE—engineered to thrive in the most hazardous energy environments, from onshore drilling rigs to offshore platforms and refineries.
U.S. Oil & Gas Industry Overview
The oil and gas industry is the lifeblood of the American economy—powering homes, vehicles, and businesses. It employs over 600,000 workers across upstream exploration, midstream transportation, and downstream refining. From shale fields in Texas to deepwater operations in the Gulf of Mexico, this sector is driven by innovation—but defined by danger.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, oil and gas consistently rank among the top industries for workplace fatalities, largely due to explosions, toxic chemical exposure, electrical hazards, and confined space entry. Even minor errors can lead to catastrophic results, making proper PPE not just a regulatory requirement—but a literal life-saver.
Workforce realities in oil & gas:
- High turnover and contract-based crews require fast onboarding and easy-to-use PPE
- Harsh climates, remote locations, and flammable environments are standard
- One PPE failure can result in site shutdowns, fines, or tragedy
The Critical Role of PPE in Oil & Gas Safety
PPE in the energy sector must withstand heat, pressure, abrasion, chemicals, and impact—all while allowing workers to perform physically demanding tasks in remote, extreme environments.
Key stats that highlight the need for proper PPE:
- Over 30% of injuries in the oilfield involve hands and feet—gloves and boots are frontline defense
- Explosion-related burns are among the top causes of death on drilling sites
- OSHA reports that PPE non-compliance or failure is a contributing factor in 80% of major oilfield injuries
