One in five oil and gas workers experience depression, anxiety, or substance abuse – and suicide rates are among the highest in any US industry.
In oil and gas, safety is everything. But what happens when the threat isn’t equipment failure or fall hazards, but rather mental health?
Long shifts under high pressure, especially when coupled with isolation and a “tough-it-out” culture, contribute to high rates of suicide, substance use, and burnout — especially among male employees.
How does that translate to the job site?
- High turnover
- Missed shifts
- Increased safety incidents
That’s where Notice.Talk.Act.® at Work comes into play.
NTA® at Work turns well-being into a business advantage, not a budget drain.

“Recently, our managers and employees have been asking for help to recognize when their colleagues are struggling. We partnered with the American Psychiatric Association Foundation’s Center for Workplace Mental Health to customize and launch a training program for our employees globally. The training explains what distress signs to look for, how to engage, and how to know when to escalate a concern.”
— Lynn Castrataro, Vice President of Total Rewards, Trane Technologies
“The Center has been focused on workplace mental health long before the recent interest in workplace wellbeing post-pandemic. They have developed leadership, expertise, and partners over many years that position them on the leading edge of the needs of employers and their workforces. This allowed us to put out resources that are timely and relevant, that can help employers of all sizes improve the workplace experience and mental health of our workforce.”
— Gaurava Agarwal, M.D., Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Services, Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine
