With Tropical Storm Gustav bearing down on their offshore oil rigs, oil companies are evacuating  non-essential personnel from the many rigs dotting America's Gulf Coast. But oil workers on shore aren’t always so lucky.

Working on an oil rig or at an oil refinery can be a dangerous job, but that doesn’t mean fatalities have to occur. Safety measures always should be a chief concern of oil-producing companies and should be factored into the bottom line. When safety isn’t paramount, tragedies can ensue.
