Why Work Safe?

In the oil and gas industry, safety can sometimes be unintentionally over shadowed by other demands—and many workers are heavily dependent on luck to finish the day unharmed. After the author suffered second-degree burns in an oil & gas incident, he knew something had to change.

In The Decision Was Easy, Marc McGill describes his struggle to balance cost, production, and safety in the workplace. For many boots-on-the-ground folks in the oil and gas industry, the issue of safety vs. production is something they deal with every day. And while the choice may seem easy, it’s not! Learn how one man taught his team how to maximize production while minimizing workplace incidents and downtime.
