尽管这些工作对我们国家的勤奋工人来说是有益的，但从事海上石油钻机的工作是美国及其他地区最危险的职业之一。在海上工作时潜伏着许多危险，但最危险的危险是石油钻机爆炸seriously injureand often kill maritime workers. There can be a variety of reasons an oil rig will combust, but the most common causes of oil rig explosions include things like fires, pipeline blowouts, machinery malfunctions or defective equipment, unsafe drilling procedures, and inadequate maintenance. This means a significant number of offshore oil rig explosions could be prevented if the companies involved spent the time and money needed to keep their equipment safe and to train their workforce adequately.
是什么导致海上石油钻机爆炸？
石油钻机大火
它只需要在油钻机上与油或天然气接触，并可能发生灾难性爆炸。火灾可能是由人为错误甚至是自然发生引起的，例如雷击。由于无休止的油流使燃烧的无尽流动流可以持续几个小时，甚至更长的时间。Fire对在石油钻机上的近海工人构成了最大的风险，因为这些平台通常是高度易燃的自然资源的存储设施，直到将其钻回陆上为止。而且，由于钻机在海上如此遥远，帮助太远了，工人无处可去逃脱生成的大火。
石油钻机井喷
A blowout is an uncontrolled release of oil or natural gas from a well. These events used to occur more frequently and were called gushers; but, the advent of pressure systems designed to prevent blowouts has significantly reduced the risk. Today, oil rig blowouts only happen when these systems fail. When an oil rig is actively engaged in drilling, the systems monitoring the well pressure must be carefully observed to look for upticks and anomalies in order to catch a potential blowout before it becomes catastrophic and deadly.
石油钻机机械和设备有故障
与上述有关井喷的压力系统设备一样，石油钻机包括各种重型机械和复杂的设备。从故障的电动工具到通风故障的任何事情都可以使一系列事件链对海事工人产生极为危险的后果。设备故障会导致火花点燃燃料和/或防止石油钻机按预期安全工作。
石油钻机维护不足
石油钻机使用各种设备来钻孔并保持钻机的顶端形状。为了使所有这些组件都起作用，所有者和运营商必须正确维护和服务其每一块石油钻机。当机械失败时，由于爆炸，有毒的暴露，弹片，掉落的物体，起重机崩溃等，石油和天然气工人受到严重伤害。
Unsafe Procedures and Insufficient Training
Explosions are often caused because workers are told to rush and ignore safety rules so that the companies involved can make a faster and cheaper profit. When offshore oil rig jobs are rushed, necessary hazard analyses are not conducted, process safety management is deficient, contractors and other workers are inadequately trained, safety procedures are not followed, and other negligent behaviors increase,使整个船员处于危险之中。
坏天气
Extreme weather conditions are typical in areas where oil rigs are located, such as off the shores of Louisiana, Texas, California, Alaska, and more. Severe weather can lead to an explosion. Lightning and storm damage are just some of the ways Mother Nature can damage offshore oil rig equipment. Extreme weather can also lead to other issues that cause fires or explosions. It is important for rig operators to evacuate workers in extreme cases, such as a major storm or hurricane. However, strong winds and lightning also pose a risk to workers. Lightning strikes can very easily trigger an explosion under the right conditions.
