Safety and Hazards in Petroleum Industries: Research, Studies and Surveys

Environmental friendly and safe operations and processes are always desired from health perspectives. Due to properties of chemicals in petroleum sector, the chances of accidents are high. Material, substances, processes or circumstances which pose threat to health and well being of workers in any occupation are termed as occupational hazards. The health and safety of worker is most important. Operations and processes in petroleum industries are hazardous, due to properties of the petroleum products and raw materials. Various investigations and studies are reported on the safety and hazards in petroleum and refining industries. It is necessary to identify occupational health hazard in addition to occupational safety hazard.
