Work Clothing

Well drilling contractors are seeing more information from OSHA clarifying  the rules for their drillers and servicing contractors.

In a nutshell, when the active hydrocarbon zones are reached, flame-resistant clothing must be worn until the final casing is cemented and the well is effectively closed. Also FRC’s should be worn when there is a history of fluid or gas kicks from underground producing zones. This last sentence from the memo concerns me. For there to be “A history” a first incident must happen… the first could be fatal. Oh…but who am I … it’s easy to pick.

If you have a job that requires FRC’s, be aware Carhartt flame-resistant clothing is some of the best on the market.
