What Are the Most Common Types Of Drilling Accident-Related Injuries?

Those who work in these industries are aware of the inherent dangers of their job, which is why they are pressured to follow strict safety measures and always look out for the worker standing next to them.

When these safety measures are not adhered to by fellow workers, or worse, are not put in place by those in leadership roles, lives are threatened and sometimes even lost.

Some of the most common types of these accidents include:

Only a small group of workers is needed for pre-drilling activities, such as:

  • Locating a well
  • Leasing land
  • Surveying
  • Permitting

The majority of workers are needed during the drilling phase, which is sometimes referred to as "the boom." The workers build pipeline infrastructure, operate heavy equipment, and bore the well.

The longer the laborers are at a well site, the greater the chances are of a serious injury. If you have suffered a serious personal injury as a result of a fire or explosion from the drilling of an oil or gas well, there may have been violations of workplace safety rules or OSHA that caused your injuries.
