Safety Stands

When you’re working on an oil rig, safety stands aren’t just another piece of equipment—they’re a vital part of keeping your team and your operation protected. Designed for the demanding conditions of oilfield environments, these stands provide the secure, stable platforms you need for a safer and more efficient worksite.

What Are Safety Stands?

In the oil industry, safety stands are purpose-built support structures with several important features:

• Made from high-strength materials, usually heavy-duty steel, to handle extreme loads
• Adjustable height mechanisms allow you to position them exactly where you need support
• Non-slip bases and stabilizing features keep them steady on rig floors
• High-visibility colors like yellow or orange make them easy to spot and help promote safety awareness
• Clearly marked load-bearing capacities so you always know their limits
• Built to meet or exceed all relevant industry safety standards and regulations

How Safety Stands Are Used on Oil Rigs

Equipment Support

• Give heavy machinery a stable platform during maintenance
• Hold pipe sections, valves, and other components securely during assembly
• Keep equipment steady during testing procedures

Tubular and Pipe Handling

• Support drill pipe, casing, and tubing during makeup and breakdown
• Secure pipe sections in pipe yards and on the rig floor
• Prevent rolling or shifting of tubular goods while they’re being handled

Maintenance Operations

• Provide safe work platforms for mechanics and technicians
• Hold components that have been removed for repair or inspection
• Keep equipment at ergonomic heights to help reduce worker strain

BOP and Wellhead Operations

• Support blowout preventer components during assembly or maintenance
• Offer stable platforms for installing wellhead equipment
• Used during pressure testing of critical safety components

Safety Applications

• Act as barriers around hazardous areas or equipment
• Hold emergency equipment in locations where it’s easy to reach
• Elevate critical controls above areas that could be flooded on offshore rigs

In our experience at Longwood Energy Services, safety stands make a real difference in preventing accidents from falling objects, unstable equipment, and improper material handling. They’re a key part of building a safer workplace in an industry where heavy equipment and high-pressure operations are the norm.
