Red Wing's Oil And Gas Hse Podcast

The oilfield has a bad habit, when it comes to our own personal safety, of believing that we are all “ten feet tall and bulletproof.” So how do we, as an industry change the mindset or our employees and also our own mindset? In this episode of The Oil and Gas Health, Safety and Environment […]

Fluid monitoring equipment is a necessary part of any piping system, but anytime you tap into an existing section of pipe you inherently introduce a potential point of failure, corrosion and additional maintenance. At the Red Wing Oil and Gas Health, Safety and Environmental podcast, we’re always looking to talk with companies who use technology […]

We have seen a trend in the way new technology combats naturally occurring hazards. From lightning strikes to asset corrosion, businesses are providing solutions that eliminate the hazard from the equation: By ionizing the atmosphere around a facility, you can prevent lightning from striking in an area or in this case, to prevent corrosion, you actually encourage […]

Workplace wellness programs have existed in the modern workplace for some time, but most programs are little more than a few lunch-and-learns and maybe a free Fitbit. Patrick and his special guest host and lovely wife Amanda had a chance to speak with Laura Putnam CEO of Motion Infusion and nationally recognized author of the […]

Changing corporate safety culture for the better is one of the hardest things for an organization to do. As an industry, we tend to make big sweeping changes to policies and procedures when a major incident occurs, but what if we could use smaller incidents to affect change on the front line? Mark and Patrick […]

  Are your policies set up to manage third-party contractors to ensure that every person working on one of your oil and gas projects are operating in the safest way possible? How do you know those same contractors are as dedicated to working safely and protecting the environment? Mark and Patrick are once again joined […]

When someone gets hurt on the job there is a response to resolve the initial incident and make sure it doesn’t happen again, but there are also the legal implications that must be dealt with before a company and the employees can move past the event. We had Sarah Stogner back on Red Wing’s Oil […]

  Wellsite is an innovative solution that was spawned out fo two oilfield experts seeing a need in the market and building a solution that they couldn’t find in the marketplace. If you’ve ever wished your equipment could diagnose itself and send you real-time notifications about not only where it is but information about everything […]

When it comes to safety in the oilfield, we love to see innovation spring up because someone using a certain piece of equipment, that has been around for decades, figured out a better way to do things! If you’ve worked in the oilfield for any length of time, you have seen hammer unions used on […]

Protecting the environment, your employees and your bottom line begins well before you ever start the work. Planning for a health, safety or environmental event can sometimes be the difference in life or death and that planning needs to be defined in every contract you draft with a client. Contract risk mitigation and casualty insurance […]

The challenge of managing 32 shipyards around the world is difficult from an operations perspective, but when you consider the health, safety and environmental challenges it can be a nightmare to not only standardize safe work processes but to ensure those standards are being followed. Mark and Patrick sat down with Jan Willem Van Hogerwou, […]

  Building a safety culture is not about implementing a new program that “checks a box” on a corporate requirement, nor can a good safety culture be built by sending your employees to a class once a year. Building a progressive safety culture is all ab…

The most important safety aspect of any business is having a positive culture that fosters continuous improvement and innovation. A lot of the companies we talk to on the Red Wing Oil and Gas HSE Podcast do not provide safety products or services directly to their clients, but safety is a big part of how […]

The most important part of any business in the oilfield is the people that do the work. No place is this truer than when you consider the impact your employees have on the Health, Safety and Environmental impact of your operations.

Oil and gas surface control equipment is vital for the safety of the personnel working on the rig, as well as preserving the integrity of the well. The old way of making sure you don’t exceed the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) of your equipm…
