Ask anyone that works in the oilfield, drilling wells, doing work-overs, fracking, or working on offshore oil rigs and, jack ups and platforms, the oil drilling business is dangerous. Due to the money and profits involved, many oilfield operators cut corners, overlook safety issues and push their workers beyond their safe limits and when that happens, serious injuries and deaths are not far behind. While oil rigs mechanically are safer than they were 20 years ago, the owners, subs and operators sometime are not safer. When safety is not involved in every aspect of the oil drilling and exploration process, then often time preventable accidents & deaths occur.
