==Government safety regulations==

Safety at a wellsite is governed by federal and state regulations, as well as by the operator's in-house codes. Federal regulations are established in the ''Safety and Health Standards'' set forth by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA, 1983). In many states, these regulations are administered by state agencies. State regulatory agencies can also have their own specific standards that are more stringent than OSHA requirements. A prudent operator should be aware of all levels of safety regulations.
