Oil companies are always looking for a few good men and women to work on their oil rigs at sea. The money is not bad, but the work is hard and carried out in difficult conditions, with constant danger of injury or death . Companies make every effort to compensate their employees by boredom and the short distance are part of the platform work . They know that keeping workers happy , means more productivity and reduce the risk of accidents.
Accommodation: each "day" , which changes work begins with an alarm clock as a knock on the door . Food, clothing and cleaning - service are offered as if you were on a cruise, but share a small room with three other people .
Security: Security is an important issue , both individually and in a global perspective. There are many forms of damage on an oil rig , in addition to the platform itself may be at risk the lives of everyone on board if precautions are not taken .
You will need to wear a helmet , goggles and steel -toed boots , all provided by the company , provided it is in the active part of a bridge. Safety standards are numerous and sometimes boring . Even something as simple as grabbing a handrail when climbing stairs can result in reprimand platforms tend to move unexpectedly. The wearing of jewelry , including wedding bands is not.
As expected there is a real concern about the fire on an oil rig and no one is allowed to carry matches or lighters on board. On some platforms , however , smoking is prohibited in the smokehouse and security are provided games.
Hours: Rigs are operating 24 hours a day and 12 hours changes . According to the company you work for , you will be working 14 days followed by 14 days off or 14 to 21 on / off schedule. Each quarter is broken by a " morning " and a break "late" , as well as lunch.
Food : The jumps are made in team work and " tea shacks " had drinks and cakes , breads and other snacks . For lunch , you take off your work clothes and kitchen. Overall the food is taken and of good quality . Meals and snacks are provided free. Occasionally , dinners revolve around a theme , such as Mexican, Italian or Chinese .
Entertainment: TV and DVD are available as well as Internet service for computers. Many platforms have even a small gym and a sauna . Ping Pong is pretty standard on oil rigs too.
Working on an oil rig pays well , but it's not for everyone . You should ask yourself if you can stand to work and live in close quarters a lot of other people. You need a positive attitude and willingness to go the extra mile necessary to prevent accidents and fighting. If you can make the adjustment , you can work your way up to positions of greater responsibility and better pay .
