If your job requires hard labor working outdoors, you are bound to have long stretches of working in harsh conditions! From oil rigs in North Dakota in December to the Permian Basin in the heat of the Summer in Texas, the weather affects your workers as well as your equipment. When you are onsite, you want to know that you can rely on your team and your machinery to get through a rough day. Here are a few suggestions we have for working in these harsh conditions.

For Your Team & Yourself

Imagine yourself on your best day! You’re fed, well-rested, dressed properly, and ready to take on the day. Let’s start there. Taking care of yourself becomes the number one safety priority to avoid illness and injury. Hydration during hot Summers, dressing properly during cold Winters, and always doing your best to get the most rest. Pack the following items to help you!

  • Vitamin C packets to help prevent colds
  • Hydration tablets in addition to your water
  • Earplugs if you’re sleeping on site
  • Melatonin or sleeping aids to get you to sleep faster
  • Hand warmers to keep in your pocket
  • Peppermint essential oil for your neck (this helps cool you down)

For Your Equipment

Through time and weather damage, corrosion poses a potentially dangerous and expensive risk to your equipment. Corrosion is the deterioration of a metal or its properties and can attack every component at any stage in the life of equipment on your job site or workplace. Corrosion is an adversary worthy of any research and technology we can throw at it. Lucky for you, we’ve done the research already and have a solution to offer.

  • Research the type of metal you choose
  • Invest in a protective coating
  • Pay attention to the metal and gas in the environment
  • Sacrificial coatings
  • Suppress reactions with corrosion Inhibitors
