We work as a team. Every one has a job and we relies on the other person to do what is right. We hold safety meetings. We all have a Safe Work Practice Program in place. We all train to get off the platform if we lose control. We have Fire Fighters and Rescue Trained personal on board all the time. We have Coast Guard or a way to get you in if you get hurt. There are so many fail safe safety devices in place to protect the environment and personal. We spend 8 months out of the year together on a platform that morn time than with our wives's. Wouldn't want to work anywhere else. You are in more danger getting to work than on a platform. People on a every day to day life don't have safety in mind 24 hrs a a day.
In the oil industry.
no
YES
Yes, but the hazards are well controlled. Although it is a hazardous environment, discipline is strict and oil rig workers are highly trained and educated in safety. Safety regulations, procedures, precautions and management have greatly improved over the years. It is safer to work on a rig than driving a car on the road.
It does depend on the requirements of the company operating the oil rig. But most do not require a GED, rather some past experience, or a willingness to train with a supervisor.

To work as a Roughneck you would be better off with an oil rig.........LOL!
An oil rig is an oil platform or oil production platform. A drilling is different though.
St. Petersburg has an offshore field to build the oil rig.
It takes 20000 day to build an oil rig.
