ConstructionCivil & Industrial Build
Construction — the same hazards, wherever you're building.
Working at height, standing in the line of fire, lifting and hoisting — the fatal-risk categories on a construction site are largely the same ones the IOGP Life-Saving Rules were built to address, whether the plant being built processes oil and gas or anything else.

Where to start
The topics that matter most on a construction site.
Falls, being struck by equipment or dropped objects, and excavation collapse are the recurring patterns behind construction fatalities — matched closely by VIRSAT's core Workplace Safety topics.
Products for this industry
Training and field verification for the build site.
Evidence, not claims
Grounded in the same published research.
SPE 2012
The Shell field study
Lost time injury frequency down 40%, fatal accident rate down 71% within 3 years. Data spans oil & gas, manufacturing, and construction operations.
IOGP
Life-Saving Rules database
Built on a review of historic fatal incidents that includes construction activity, not just upstream oil & gas operations.
