Wyoming oil and gas officials: Safety report is a call to action

Representatives of Wyoming’s oil and natural gas industry lauded the value of a scathing state report that said most industry workers who die do so in a work environment in which safety is an afterthought.

Nearly all Wyoming’s oil and gas industry deaths were due to a failure to follow existing safety procedures, former state occupational epidemiologist Timothy Ryan said in a memo last month to Gov. Matt Mead.

Ignored safety rules correlated with 96 percent of the 62 deaths in Wyoming’s petroleum industry from 2001-08.

Wyoming’s overall workplace death rate was more than 3.5 times the national average in 2010 and ranked worst in the nation five of the past 10 years.

Ryan reviewed 17 years of incident-level data about Wyoming workplace fatalities. He said the data shows the state lacks a “culture of safety.” He recommended better fatality data collection and sharing and better coordination of safety efforts.

Don Burkhart is chairman of the Petroleum Association of Wyoming’s safety committee and health and safety adviser for BP in Wyoming. He said he’s not sure how oil and natural gas companies that lack what Ryan called a culture of safety can improve their ways.
