When employees work in dangerous and harsh environments, it’s crucial to understand there are ways you can improve the safety of oilfield rigs. Minor mistakes can lead to horrific, even fatal, accidents. These are ideas you shouldn’t sleep on.
Workers’ Mental Health Matters
Oilfield rig workers spend weeks and months away from their families. This time is taxing on anyone’s mind and can negatively impact their working conditions. Everyone reacts to this differently. Some can become depressed and feel helpless, and others can begin to display rebellious behavior when they typically follow the rules.
No work environment should be toxic. Give your employees time away to spend time with their families. Take time to listen to their issues and monitor their mental health. These ideas will help create a safe work environment with fewer accidents.
Maintenance Is a Must
No employee wants a machine on an oilfield rig to fail prematurely; these machines are the lifeline of the workers. Regular maintenance should be an automatic thing. Educate all your employees on the importance of a maintenance checklist and how to handle machines correctly.
Provide Proper Lighting
LED lighting is the way to go in oilfield operations. The brightness will help improve visibility for employees. The heightened illumination means objects and obstacles can’t hide in the dark. Workers will be able to work efficiently through the night with increased alertness, energy, and improved mood.
LED lights don’t expose employees to hazardous materials and don’t burn out as often. Thus, less time is spent changing bulbs and mercury exposure from traditional lighting.
Have a Safety Plan in Place
Improper machine usage and lack of maintenance can potentially lead to fatal accidents. Properly caring for machines is the first step in the safety plan. You should also have a strategic local emergency response plan in place as part of the safety plan. Employees need to know exactly what to do when issues arise in the oilfield. It could mean the difference between life and death for a worker.
The nature of the work is challenging on an oilfield rig. This line of work is dangerous. Understanding the above ways will help improve safety on the rig and implement improved ideas to keep workers safe.

CLIMATE
This morning, the Secretary-General and President Lula of Brazil convened a virtual leaders’ session on climate and just transition.
After the meeting he spoke to some of you and said that he heard a unifying message: our world faces massive headwinds and a multitude of crises, but we cannot allow climate commitments to be blown off course.
The Secretary-General added that we must keep building momentum for action at COP30 in Brazil— and that today was an important part of that effort.
The Secretary-General also said that renewables are the economic opportunity of the century. Dissenters and fossil fuel interests may try to stand in the way, but the world is moving forward - full speed ahead.
The Secretary-General urged leaders to take action on two fronts: first — to step up efforts to submit the strongest possible national climate plans well ahead of COP30.
And second, to scale-up support for developing countries.
DEPUTY SECRETARY-GENERAL
The Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed, is travelling to Washington, D.C. this afternoon, to attend the World Bank/International Monetary Fund Annual Spring Meetings and engage in discussions with key stakeholders and government officials.
Ms. Mohammed will participate in a ministerial roundtable to discuss the upcoming fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4) and priority actions to support the Sustainable Development Goals. She will separately meet with Finance Ministers, leaders of International Financial Institutions and Multilateral Development Banks to discuss the challenging global economic context, its implications for sustainable development, and how to mitigate the risks for the world’s poorest countries.
The Deputy Secretary-General will return to New York tomorrow evening.

United Nations Video: Shakespeare at the UN – In Celebration of English Language Day 2025 | United Nations
The UN Movie Society of the United Nations Staff Recreation Council will present the 2nd Annual “Shakespeare at the UN”– an exploration of how the timeless works of Shakespeare, in reflecting the human experience, can resonate with the core values of the UN, such as promoting understanding of humanity and strengthening global connections.
Shakespeare’s literature is more than mere words on a page. It is a mirror held up to the values and aspirations of our shared humanity, echoing the very essence of the United Nations. It resonates across languages and cultures. Shakespeare can connect us all: therefore, the excerpts will be performed through a multilingual and multicultural lens - featuring performances in some of the UN's official languages (including Mandarin Chinese, Swedish, Ukrainian).
The programme will include monologues about peace and war. It will also delve into the UN theme of climate action, and showcase O ruined piece of nature – penned by Michelle Terry, the Artistic Director of The Globe, featuring artists including Stephen Fry, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Helen Schlesinger, Shubham Saraf, Paul Ready, Rosalie Craig, Hadley Fraser, Philip Cumbus, and Tanika Yearwood. London’s Royal Central School of Speech and Drama will present monologues focused on sustainable development and the spirit – and how they affect the world. The program delves further into the UN's work through Shakespeare, showcasing themes including human rights. We will be treated to a special contribution from the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Opening remarks will be delivered by H.E. Dame Barbara Woodward, DCMG, OBE, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom to the United Nations. On this occasion, messages will be delivered Josette Bushell-Mingo OBE, Principal and CEO of The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, Daniel Evans and Tamara Harvey, Co-Artistic Directors of the Royal Shakespeare Company, Michelle Terry, Artistic Director of Shakespeare's Globe, and Michael Dobson, Director of the Shakespeare Institute.
English Language Day at the UN is celebrated annually April 23rd, the date traditionally observed as both the birthday and date of death of William Shakespeare. As well as being the most famous playwright, who wrote in English, Shakespeare also had a huge impact on modern-day English. Today, every one in four people in the world uses English. At the United Nations, English is one of the six official languages of the Organization. As we embark on an extraordinary journey into the heart of Shakespeare’s timeless wisdom, the performances in “Shakespeare at the UN” aims to spark reflection, healing, and a renewed commitment to the noble ideals that bind us together as nations under the banner of the United Nations.
Founded at the United Nations Headquarters by Brenda Vongova, the UN Movie Society is committed to championing the goals and values of the United Nations through the universal language of motion pictures.

United Nations Video: Colombia: Reaffirming Commitment to Peace, Security, & Justice Amid Challenges | United Nations
The Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Colombia, Carlos Ruiz Massieu, today (22 Apr) told the Security Council that “illicit economies are intertwined with conflict in Colombia,” and solving this problem “is necessary for peace to be consolidated.”
Ruiz Massieu said, “despite the many challenges still present,” Colombia “is a changed country” compared to the years preceding the signing of the 2016 Peace Agreement,” which “brought to an end the largest insurgency in the country which spanned decades.”
He told the Council that “the provisions of the Agreement on the problem of illicit drugs have the potential to contribute to these solutions. Yet, the success of instruments such as voluntary crop substitution has been limited, including due to a lack of follow-through by the State with development assistance promised to peasants who voluntarily eradicated coca.”
Ruiz Massieu, who is the Head of the United Nations Verification Mission in Colombia (UNVIC), said “looking to the future, it is essential to prioritize those processes of dialogue with actors that demonstrate a real desire for peace and that can have tangible results to benefit communities.”
He said, “no real desire for peace is demonstrated if minors are recruited and leaders are assassinated. There is no real desire for peace if you extort money from communities. You don't show a real desire for peace, if people are deprived of their freedom.”
Ruiz Massieu said, “I am convinced that if the Agreement had been implemented more thoroughly in the last eight years, we would not have situations like those experienced in Catatumbo or Cauca today,” and stressed that “there is still time to use the Agreement as a current and necessary instrument to overcome these cases and prevent the repetition of cycles of conflict in Colombia.”
For her part, Colombia’s Minister for Foreign Affairs Laura Camila Sarabia Torres told the Council that “fulfilling the Agreement has not been and will not be easy.”
Sarabia Torres said, “the implementation of the Agreement was ignored for four years because of selfish political decisions. The consequences are now being experienced; a rural reform that was ignored and that is advancing at a slow pace; a clarification of the truth that was fragmented and that has left victims in the middle.
She said, “the transformation of the most vulnerable territories wasn't a priority. Public resources were committed for decades to urban works, while in departments such as Chocó more than half of the population lives without water.”
The Agreement followed years of negotiations which began at the Havana dialogues between delegates from the National Government, led by President Juan Manuel Santos, and delegates from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia – People’s Army (FARC-EP), based on their mutual decision to bring the national armed conflict to an end.

BBC News Video: Hunt for militants who killed tourists in Kashmir in deadly attack | BBC News
India has closed its main border crossing with Pakistan, expelled its military diplomats and suspended a landmark water-sharing treaty following an attack that killed 26 people in Indian-administered Kashmir.
Pakistan has denied involvement in the attack and will convene a national security meeting on Thursday to discuss a response to the measures taken by India.
Gunmen burst out of forests and opened fire on visitors with automatic weapons in the attack near the picturesque tourist town of Pahalgam.
There's been no official confirmation yet on who carried out the brutal attack but some media reports say a group linked to Pakistan-based organisation Lashkar-e-Taiba may have claimed responsibility.

At least nine people have been killed and more than 80 others injured, including children, in an overnight Russian missile and drone attack on four districts of Ukraine's capital Kyiv, local officials said.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said falling drone wreckage triggered a number of fires, and there are fears that a number of people may be trapped under the rubble of a destroyed residential building.
Blasts were also reported in the north-eastern city of Kharkiv, which also came under attack. At least two people were injured, the mayor said.
The Russian attacks came hours after US President Donald Trump accused Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky of harming peace negotiations.

ODN Video: Shocking Footage Shows Moment of Tourist Attack in Kashmir
Chilling footage has captured the moment gunmen opened fire on tourists in the Baisaran Valley of Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday, killing at least 26 people and injuring over a dozen others.
The victims were mostly sightseers visiting the popular Pahalgam area in Anantnag district.
The shooting happened in a remote part of the valley, accessible only by foot or horseback, making emergency response difficult.
Police said several tourists were taken to hospital with gunshot wounds, and the area has since been sealed off by security forces.
