"Blue 42! Blue 42! Set!" The Evolution of PPE in the Drilling Industry

Friday night lights... tailgating Saturdays... and of course, armchair quarterbacking Sundays. It's the most wonderful time of the year!
Now, imagine if your favorite football team had to play a championship game with the same gear they used a century ago. The game would be drastically different-less safe, less efficient, and much more dangerous. Similarly, the evolution of personal protective equipment (PPE) in the drilling industry has transformed its safety and effectiveness over the years. Just as football gear has advanced from simple leather helmets to sophisticated, high-tech armor, PPE has undergone significant changes to better protect our most valuable asset: our people.
