Falling is for the Birds

October 14, 2021 by PBOG

Falling in love is okay. “Falling,” in of itself, is for the birds. Fall is my favorite season. I have mentioned slips, trips, and falls in several previous article. In case you have not figured it out, this month I am singularly focusing on falls, falling, and fall protection. One of my previous articles was […]

Winning With LO/TO

September 23, 2021 by PBOG

Greetings and salutations! Or as we just say in Texas, “Hello again!” Every year, regardless of the industry, numerous people are killed each year by not practicing Lockout Tagout, also known as LO/TO, not LOTTO. This is one of the easiest things to do in our industry and yet it is often overlooked. It is […]

A Down-to-Earth Approach

September 20, 2021 by PBOG

The year 2020 was hard for most people and companies, and Bright Sky Environmental was not spared, said founder and president Kat Galloway. “All of our clients paused or pulled the plug on their projects with us, as they dealt with the oil price collapse and handling their own finances. So they didn’t have the […]

Something So Simple!

August 19, 2021 by PBOG

Here lately, I have been reminiscing about my own trials and tribulations throughout my career regarding safety and the oil and gas industry. One of the key reasons I went into safety was the constant loss of life and limb. To this day, the highways are still the most dangerous thing we do as an […]

The Life of a Safety Man

July 8, 2021 by PBOG

Back in 1971, I started working in the oilfield. It was in the summer after graduation from high school that I started as a roughneck. Yep, I worked lead tongs on a “triple.” It had 3 (quiet…sarcasm) Waukesha engines powering that rig. It was a deep hole triple (3 joints of pipe in a stand), […]

Safety Man Puts out Fire; News at 10!

June 10, 2021 by PBOG

As I was leaving my office that was downtown, and going to an adjacent building, I looked over by the smoking area outside, and there was a medium-sized fire! Being the safety professional I am, I assessed the situation. It appeared to be a fire in the plastic 5 gallon bucket used for cigarette butts. […]

Be Prepared

May 6, 2021 by PBOG

In view of recent events of snow-mageddon that we all recently experienced in Texas, there arises the issue of being continually prepared. Any safety person worth their weight should play the “what if” game continually, as should anyone in any other position in the petroleum gas industry. When it comes to operations, safety, accounting, investments, […]

Reporting for Duty

April 15, 2021 by PBOG

Greeting and salutations! I hope this month’s edition finds you doing well as we recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and the downturn in the oil and gas business. This month we are tackling an age-old issue—one not limited to our business but certainly a main factor. The issue is reporting incidents, accidents, and near misses. […]

Let’s Dig a Little Deeper

March 29, 2021 by PBOG

Like the old saying goes, there are only two kinds of people when it comes to digging or doing excavation work. There are (1) those who have hit a line, and (2) those who are going to. I do not know anyone who has not hit a line unless they just started digging for the […]

Talking Dust with Dusty

February 18, 2021 by PBOG

This month’s topic is absolutely pertinent and timely. Normally it is a sleep-inducer of a topic, the reason being that its ramifications are long term, as opposed to short term—and short term ramifications generally attract greater attention. Silica and silicosis have been an issue in the oilfield and construction industries for quite some time. Largely […]
