Exploration, extraction, and refining in the oil and gas sector play a critical role in energy supply and production. However, these activities create hazardous conditions, exposing workers to extreme temperatures, harmful gases, and chemicals such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hydrogen sulphide, and sulphur dioxide. Prolonged exposure to these hazards can cause respiratory issues, skin conditions, and severe long-term health problems. Effective ventilation systems are crucial for managing air quality and ensuring a safer working environment. Based on extensive customer feedback, we have identified the primary ventilation challenges in the oil and gas industry and provide tailored solutions.
