NEVER SOUNDED SO GOOD.
WILL SITI SIFITY FICTS
Oil field equipment can be extremely dangerous, and people should not "hang
around" tank batteries and pumping units.
Some ofthe dangers are:
TAl. 8Anfl.fS:
·The smallest spark by a tank battery--especially a cigarette or lighter-can cause an
explosion from fumes or flammable liquids,
.Anyone opening a hatch of a tank battery might be overcome with fumes and pass
out.
·The stairs and rails on tank batteries, which can be as high as two stories, can be
covered with oil and be slippery, causing someone to fall down the stairways or over
the side.
In April, we're launching an all-new
safety campaign. As you'll see,
it's our most dynamic ever - and
certainly the most musical.
vl.1 revised 3/28/12
·Some heater treaters (long, tall tanks) operate at extreme temperatures which could
cause bums.
·Even if a pumping unit is stopped, it is not safe, Many units are on timers which can
start without waruing, causing harm if a person is on the unit.
OTHfl fIU.PMfIT:
·The counterweights on pumping units weight up to 20,000 pounds, and will crush
a human body without stopping, Anyone falling off the beam or trying to ride the
weights can be seriously injured or accidentally killed,
.Anyone trying to grab the cable or the front ofthe pumping unit can have their
hands cut off as the cable travels up and down.
..,IIPlle UI.TS:
·The numerous moving parts ofa pumping unit can catch, then injure, or even kill,
a person.
·Electrical boxes, wires and components operate at high voltage around pumping
units. Anyone touching them could receive serious electrical shock.
·Chemicals are sometimes used at oil field sites and could cause bums iftouched.
·Pipelines could leak or explode iftampered with by untrained personnel.
·Many fences around oil field sites are topped with barbed or razor wire, which
could cause serious injury. CJERB
even deadly. The Oklahoma Energy
Resources Board is committed to
