The Unique Fall Hazards of Oil & Gas

The oil and gas industry operates at the intersection of complex machinery, hazardous materials, and extreme environmental conditions. Workers are routinely exposed to at-height risks on slippery, cluttered surfaces, often in remote locations where emergency response can be challenging. Protecting your team requires more than just standard equipment; it requires an engineered approach to safety. 

 

HySafe’s engineered solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly into your operations, providing reliable, OSHA-compliant fall protection that stands up to the demands of the oil and gas industry.

 

HySafe understands the critical hazards present at every stage of your operation: 

Drill_1

Drilling & Well Servicing

From the derrick platform to the rig floor, workers need to access elevated equipment for operations and maintenance, requiring 100% tie-off solutions that don’t hinder their work. 

Manufacturing-Industries

Production Facilities & Refineries

Maintaining and inspecting vessels, tanks, crane walkways, and below-grade boilers demands safe access. Our systems provide the secure anchor points needed to perform these critical tasks. 

Transportation-Industries

Storage & Transportation

Accessing the tops of storage tanks, tanker trucks, and rail cars for loading, unloading, and sampling presents a frequent and significant fall risk that must be addressed with compliant solutions for everything from single hatches to full loading bays. 

Pipes

General Maintenance

Navigating elevated pipe racks, servicing equipment on platforms, and accessing other elevated structures requires a comprehensive fall protection plan. 

A Comprehensive Suite of Solutions for Every Application

We offer a full range of durable, corrosion-resistant systems designed for the specific challenges of the oil and gas industry. Whether you need a permanent installation for a production facility or a portable solution for field service, HySafe has the expertise to deliver. 

Cable-Lifeline-System

Overhead Fall Protection Systems (Rigid Rail & Cable)

Providing continuous, hands-free safety, our overhead systems are ideal for protecting workers on top of tanker trucks, along loading racks, or in maintenance bays. Our solutions include Rigid Rail and Cable-Based Horizontal Lifeline (HLL) systems engineered for durability and reliable fall arrest capabilities.

Passive-System

Custom Access & Guardrail Systems

We design and install platforms and gangways for safe, stable access to elevated work areas like storage tanks and machinery, eliminating climbing risks. Guardrails and safety gates provide protection for all open ladders, catwalks, and mezzanines.

Harness-Equipment

Mobile & Ground-Based Systems

For tasks that move around your site, our versatile mobile solutions offer unmatched flexibility. Portable gantries and fall protection systems can provide a compliant anchor point right where you need it, perfect for temporary maintenance and well-servicing applications. 

Ladder-System

Vertical Lifeline & Ladder Davit Anchor Safety Systems

Ensure 100% tie-off during ascent and descent on any fixed ladder. Our integrated ladder safety systems are essential for providing continuous fall protection on derricks, tall storage tanks, and other permanent vertical structures. 

Confined-Space-System

Confined Space Entry & Rescue

Safe access to tanks, vessels, and vaults is critical. We provide specialized davit arms, tripods, and pedestal-mounted anchor systems designed for the unique challenges of confined space entry, retrieval, and rescue operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your fall protection systems compliant with industry standards like OSHA? 

Yes, absolutely. All HySafe fall protection systems are engineered to meet or exceed the rigorous safety standards set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).  

Can your equipment withstand the harsh environments of the Oil & Gas industry? 

Our systems are specifically designed for durability in challenging conditions. We use high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials to ensure our equipment withstands exposure to extreme weather, saltwater, and chemicals commonly found in upstream, midstream, and downstream operations. 

What kind of fall protection do you offer for working on storage tanks? 

We provide specialized tank anchor systems that securely clamp onto the flanges of above-ground storage tanks. These anchors create a reliable tie-off point for workers performing inspections or maintenance, allowing for safe access and movement around the tank's surface. We also offer custom guardrail systems and platform solutions for access needs.

Our facility has a unique layout. Can you create a custom solution for us? 

Yes, custom solutions are our specialty. Our team of safety experts will conduct a thorough assessment of your site to design a fall protection system tailored to your specific hazards and operational needs. From custom platforms to complex lifeline layouts, we can engineer a solution that fits your facility perfectly. 

How do I know which fall protection system is right for my application? 

The best way to determine the ideal solution is to talk to a specialist. They will discuss your specific challenges, whether it's on a drilling rig, a pipeline, or in a refinery, and recommend the most effective and efficient system to ensure worker safety.
