Oil, Gas & Mining Accident Attorneys in Wyoming

While all workers are subject to a certain amount of risk while on the job, individuals in the gas, oil, and mining industries face certain workplace hazards that other workers do not.

Industrial plants and mines pose serious dangers to both employees and contractors due to:

  • The nature of the job
  • Frequent use of heavy machinery
  • And other factors

While certain laws have been put in place in order to protect workers, accidents do still occur. When these accidents are the result of negligence, employees and their families have every right to hold the liable parties responsible.

What Are the Most Common Causes of Oil, Gas & Mining Accidents?

Like any workplace, oil fields, mines, and gas plants pose certain dangers for employees at these sites. However, because of the relatively dangerous nature of these types of jobs, workers often face more severe injuries and a higher risk of fatality than workers in other industries.

Though safety standards are set in place by OSHA in order to protect oil, gas, and mine workers, these standards are not always followed.

Negligence on the part of the company owners, site managers, equipment manufacturers, and others can lead to:

Some common causes of oil, gas, and mining accidents that can be attributed to negligence include:

  • Improper or inadequate training
  • Faulty or defective equipment
  • Unsafe working conditions
  • Failure to follow safety regulations
  • Encouragement of unsafe practices
  • Exposure to toxic chemicals

All too often, mining, oil, and gas companies put profits ahead of safety, encouraging workers to take shortcuts that can result in disastrous consequences.
