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

Frequently
Asked Questions About PPE for
Oil & Gas

Do your FR garments meet NFPA and ASTM standards for drilling operations in Texas, North Dakota, and offshore rigs?
Yes. Our FR apparel complies with NFPA 2112 and ASTM F1506, and is tested for both flash fire resistance and arc exposure—required by OSHA 1910.132 and 1910.269. Suitable for all regions and site types.
How do you ensure PPE is durable enough for hot climates like West Texas or the Gulf Coast?
We supply lightweight FR apparel designed to breathe in 90°F+ heat while maintaining full flame protection. Moisture-wicking and vented options are field-tested in desert conditions.
Can I outfit crews working in confined spaces with appropriate PPE and detection gear?
Yes. Our confined space kits include ventilation-compatible respirators, tripod rescue systems, harnesses, and intrinsically safe lighting. We also provide labeling and manuals for confined space compliance.
Do you offer equipment for acidizing, fracking, or chemical transport teams?
Absolutely. We carry multi-layer chemical splash suits, anti-static PPE, high-vis chemical gloves, and boots resistant to solvents, acids, and corrosive agents.
What’s the turnaround time for emergency deliveries to remote locations?
We offer rush fulfillment and air or ground shipment to remote drilling fields, offshore platforms, or pipeline staging yards—with 24–48 hr lead time for most essential items.
Do your boots and gloves meet oilfield slip and crush standards?
Yes. Our PPE includes metatarsal boots, puncture-resistant soles, and impact gloves rated for wet, muddy, and rough terrain common in oil and gas sites.
What respiratory PPE is available for gas detection zones or hydrogen sulfide risk areas?
We carry NIOSH-certified half- and full-mask respirators with H2S cartridges, P100 filters, and SCBA gear for Class I, Division I areas.
Can I track compliance or usage for multiple crews across sites?
Yes. We offer PPE logbooks, RFID tagging options, and digital compliance tracking to help safety managers ensure crew compliance across rotating shifts and regions.
Do you offer FR gear with custom logos or site-specific ID?
Yes. We use flame-retardant thread embroidery and heat transfer labels that do not compromise safety ratings. Great for crew ID and site-level accountability.
What training or documentation comes with the PPE?
We include donning/doffing guides, HAZCOM safety sheets, inspection tags, and digital training resources for both frontline crews and safety managers.
