OSHA Safe + Sound Week
Every year, API takes part in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Safe + Sound Week, highlighting API standards, recommended practices, and other programs that enhance workplace safety.
API's focus on safety in the workplace stretches across all segments of the natural gas and oil industry including offshore, pipelines, refineries and more. API Energy Excellence®, API's newest member initiative, exemplifies these principles and codifies how organizations can continue to accelerate safety and environmental progress across operations.
During this week, August 11-17, 2024, specific occupational safety standards are made available for download and can be accessed here.
