Most speed shops (hot-rods, muscle cars, etc.) have an oil pressure switch kit that you can install that controls the electric fuel pump. If there is oil pressure, it keeps current going to the fuel pump. No oil pressure, no power to the fuel pump.
I bought one of these kits years ago to replace a bad oil pressure switch on a 1985 motorhome. It had a Ford 460 and I lost the fuel pump driving home one weekend. I realized I didn't have power to the pump, so I jumped it to get me home. Later on, I found out about the oil pressure switch died. Replaced it and everything worked normal after that. The switches usually have a separate terminal that hooks directly to the starter so power goes to the fuel pump during start up.
You could either verify your engine has one of these, or install one for piece of mind. If you ever lose oil pressure, it shuts the fuel pump off, killing the engine.
