Safety on Offshore Oil Rigs
If you have any questions on offshore oil rig jobs or general
employment in the industry, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us.
 Working
aboard oil rigs there is a great attention paid to safety and reducing
risk for employees.
- Every piece of equipment onboard the offshore oil rig, is identified
with a color code. This code tells us that it has been tested and is safe
to use from the most recent equipment testing process. Equipment with
recent color codes is safe to use. Items like alcohol, matches and lighters
should not be taken aboard offshore oil rigs. Other forbidden items include
flammable items, illegal drugs and weapons.
- All luggage is checked before coming aboard an offshore
oil rig to ensure the safety of all people onboard. Batteries
should be removed from electrical equipment; cellphones
should be turned off and can be taken from you before
you come aboard the helicopter.
The workday
Employees who work onshore in oil productions have a basic
workday of 8 hours, for 5 days.
This differs to oil rigs offshore as they tend to work
7 day weeks and 12 hours a day then they may have 7 days off.
Drilling operations will work continuously for 24 hours and
or until oil has been discovered and fully pumped then drained.
Working offshore the workers will be transported by boat or
helicopter to and from the oil rig platform.
