Safety and health management is one of the many critical factors that keep the oil and gas industry going. Mostly because of its operational conditions, chemical end products (hydrocarbons and other compounds), temperatures, and many more factors, oil and gas is still one of the risky professions globally. Hence, ensuring safety of associated workers and bringing down the threat quotient becomes imperative. Surveys suggest that with the oil and gas exploration and production processes becoming highly challenging, digital and networking solutions are stepping up to provide enhanced safety and productivity for onsite workers.

United Safety plays a pivotal role here in providing industrial safety products, safety consulting, and training to both the Upstream and Downstream sectors of the Oil and Gas industry, ensuring utmost safety of professionals. From plant turnaround safety services to solutions for onshore/offshore drilling activities, integrated risk management services to construction projects protection, the company does it all. “We are consciously committed to improving safety in the workplace. With our passion and wealth of experience, we have brought numerous innovations and cutting-edge digitally networked solutions that enable us to do what we do best – keep people safe in a cost-effective manner,” states Lee Whittaker, President and CEO, United Safety.

To begin with, United Safety emerges as an integral partner for Upstream oil operations and provides customised safety solutions for both onshore and offshore activities The company’s ingrained expertise and reliability gives it an upper hand it to execute large scale projects with ease. United Safety helps oil and gas firms fight the hazardous gas emissions and provide them with cutting-edge solutions and industry-leading equipment that accurately forecast the arrival of any danger. TeQ Shield, the company’s cutting-edge digital networked solutions helps customers gain project control and visibility in all stages of their exploration and production–right from drilling to final well completion. “In today’s challenging economic climate, maintenance shutdowns or turnarounds demand innovations that help maximise productivity and reduce cost. Using our TeQ Shield Guardian innovation, we help owners and plant managers gain project control and visibility in all phases of a plant turnaround,” states Dr. Elie Daher, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, United Safety.

The company’s integrated suite of safety services combines gas detection, video surveillance in confined spaces, two-way communication, access control, permitting, quality control and assurance and monitoring of core body vitals to improve safety and productivity while reducing costs. In essence, the TeQ Shield family comprises of four different variants–TeQ Shield Tracker, TeQ Shield Guardian, TeQ Shield Aware, and TeQ Shield Impact. While Guardian helps in unifying and centralising operations in a confined space, Tracker monitors the safety components in real time. Besides, TeQ Guardian also provides uninterrupted work insight in to all enclosed work spaces. On the other hand, TeQ Shield Tracker raises awareness by bringing to notice any potential threat and thereby zeroes in the chances of fatalities. Rounding off its product suite is TeQ Shield Impact that accelerates productivity and performance by ensuring less delays and uplifting planning sequences. Notably, the company, at the behest of its promising onstream solutions, recently performed a successful relief well plan in Libya wherein the well was burning for almost 120 days.

Moving on from its Onstream solutions, United Safety also moves the needle in downstream operations through Air Qruise. The solution is essentially a patented system of compressed air supply and distribution that is installed in client vehicles or in vehicles supplied to clients by the company to detect toxic gases faster. The embedded VGPS in the solution quickly alerts both the occupants of the vehicle and others in the vicinity when toxic gases are released. Soon, the driver and passengers can instantly access to breathing air by donning air masks from rapid deployment bags integrated into the vehicle. In short, the robust Air Qruise provides supply air through hidden air lines connected to high capacity storage system secured in the rear of the vehicle. To that end, the Air Qruise Trooper also ensures peace-of-mind for both customers and their personnel throughout their gas exploration lifecycle–from entrance and transit through high risk areas to a safe exit from a toxic release site.

With its footprints spread all across the globe, there is no second thought that United Safety stands at the forefront of industrial safety equipment technology. The company thereby leaves no stone unturned to modernise its existing breathable air systems and gas detection devices and multi-disciplinary contracts to safeguard work forces.
