Hi Prads,
Try the ILO website and search for oil/gas standards.
There is loads of stuff it just needs a bit of work finding it. But worth it when you get there

I would be interested to know what you are seeking when you refer to ‘standards’ in occupational health. As someone who works exclusively in that field, albeit in one specialised area, ‘standards’ is not something that my experience says are perhaps as simple as may at first appear. Ensuring that the workplace environment does not cause damage to health of those present is a very extensive topic with a number of complications. For example, whereas with physical accidents the result is almost always acute with occupational health the consequences of getting it wrong can be chronic, only becoming apparent after many years. If we consider chemicals, then when conducting a risk assessment in many cases we will need to try to ascertain the effect of multiple exposures by all three main routes or exposure (inhalation ingestion and skin) in terms of systemic toxic effects. Consider also that there is no such thing as a non-hazardous substance. It all depends upon the extent of the exposure and the circumstances in which the exposure occurs. Just consider the following statement:-

“However, there is no scientific method of measuring the results of the body’s exposure to risk through dermal contact. Consequently no dermal exposure standards have been set.” - from “Occupational skin diseases and dermal exposure in the European Union (EU-25):policy and practice overview - European Agency for Safety and Health at Work

Topics within occupational health range from chemical exposure through muscular skeletal issues to mental health.

In my experience there is no ‘standard’ that exists whereby the employer can claim that he has done everything needed to provide a ‘safe’ workplace.

If you can define in more detail what you are looking for then those working in occupational health may well be able to help you. If you feel it will help feel free to PM me on this topic.
