Occupational safety is a critical concern in the oil and gas industry, particularly in the maintenance phase of projects. This review paper critically examines the Occupational Safety Management Systems (OSMS) implemented in oil and gas maintenance projects, focusing on their effectiveness, challenges, and areas for improvement. OSMS are designed to mitigate risks, protect workers, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. However, the complexity and dynamic nature of oil and gas operations often lead to inefficiencies in the application of safety protocols. The review investigates the evolution of OSMS in the industry, highlighting key safety frameworks, risk assessment methodologies, and safety culture initiatives. Additionally, it explores the integration of new technologies, such as predictive maintenance and automation, in enhancing safety management. The paper discusses the challenges of implementing effective safety measures, including the human factor, resource limitations, and cultural barriers. Case studies from leading oil and gas companies are analyzed to identify best practices and lessons learned. The review also presents recommendations for strengthening OSMS in future maintenance projects, emphasizing the need for continuous improvement, stakeholder collaboration, and data-driven decision-making. Finally, the paper suggests future research directions to address existing gaps and optimize safety management strategies in the oil and gas sector.
