Please join the Appalachian STEPS Network as we partner with the Onshore Safety Alliance (OSA) for our annual industry safety share forum. This safety share forum is designed for operators, drilling contractors and service companies with personnel who work directly on onshore oil and gas well sites to come and share good practices and learnings. Registration is always free for OSA Safety Share Forums and is not limited to OSA or American Petroleum Institute members.
For general questions, please contact The Appalachian STEPS Network at appalachiansteps@outlook.com.
The OSA is a voluntary industry coalition committed to reducing and preventing serious injuries and fatalities in U.S. onshore oil and gas exploration and production. Through forums like this one, the OSA and our partners are working to bridge industry knowledge by sharing practices and learnings across companies.
The Appalachian STEPS Network is a chapter of the National STEPS Network. STEPS is an acronym for Service, Transmission, Exploration, & Production Safety. We are a group of 900 HSE professionals in the oil & gas industry who meet to network and learn. The Appalachian STEPS Network chapter encompasses the states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. The goal of this organization is to promote health, safety, and environmental improvement in the Appalachian Basin and to foster a work environment that relies upon open communication and trust.
