Con el reciente auge del petr\u00f3leo en Texas y en todo el pa\u00eds, el n\u00famero de accidentes en campos petrol\u00edferos ha aumentado considerablemente. De 2008 a 2012, el n\u00famero total de muertes registradas en los yacimientos petrol\u00edferos fue de 545, seg\u00fan el <a href=\"http:\/\/www.houstonchronicle.com\/news\/houston-texas\/houston\/article\/oil-field-deaths-rose-sharply-from-2008-to-2012-5433943.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Cr\u00f3nica de Houston<\/a>.

Mientras que en las perforaciones marinas se aplicaron directrices para mejorar la seguridad, no puede decirse lo mismo de las operaciones terrestres y de fracturaci\u00f3n hidr\u00e1ulica, que siguen utilizando equipos anticuados y otras pr\u00e1cticas que las operaciones marinas han considerado inseguras.<\/p>\n<p>En 2012 se produjo un aumento del 60% en el n\u00famero de muertes, con un total de 65 fallecidos. Adem\u00e1s del elevado n\u00famero de muertes en ese a\u00f1o, se produjeron numerosos accidentes con lesiones graves, como 675 fracturas \u00f3seas, 92 quemaduras, 79 casos de p\u00e9rdida de miembros y 82 personas aplastadas mientras trabajaban en el campo petrol\u00edfero.<\/p>\n<p>Como las muertes y los accidentes se producen poco a poco, en lugar de en una cat\u00e1strofe a gran escala, han pasado en gran medida desapercibidos. La OSHA no cuenta con una normativa espec\u00edfica para el petr\u00f3leo y el gas, y algunos de los 95 inspectores Texas no tienen experiencia ni formaci\u00f3n real en el sector y carecen del derecho a cerrar cualquier emplazamiento si detectan condiciones de trabajo inseguras. Sin embargo, la OSHA ha hecho de la industria petrolera una prioridad para acabar con estas condiciones peligrosas y convertirla en un lugar m\u00e1s seguro para los trabajadores.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The oilfield has always been a dangerous location to work.
