How do you get employees to stand up and management listen?

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 04:27:16 +0000

I work offshore on a drilling rig. Someone decided one day that it would be a good idea to deviate from what has been the accepted "norm" pretty much since forever. What I am referring to is the practice of wearing extra extra thick cotton gloves. This person or people determined that there were too many hand injuries at our company and they instituted a policy that requires us to wear what is called IMPACT RESISTANT gloves. While I agree with the reasoning behind the policy, the gloves that have been chosen cause several problems for the wearer. First they cause blisters from the rubbing of the shielding parts. Second the glove part is made of neoprene so even when you do wash then and they look clean as soon as they get wet they drip the oil based mud that they are required to be worn in. We’ve been told that we are to wear latex or nitrile gloves underneath them. Have you even worn latex type gloves for any length of time?Your hands cannot breathe, they fill up so much with sweat that you can literally dump sweat out of them and your hands look like prunes. The palms are made of leather and everybody knows that when leather gets wet it is slippery. Now multiply that by leather being "soaked" in oil. But all of that isn’t the problem. Here is the problem, when I ask questions, the majority of guys say they hate the gloves and only keep a pair in their pocket in case a company "bigshot" or supervisor shows up. When I go to management I am told that the majority of people they have talked too feel the exact opposite. We have been banned from discussing policy during daily safety meetings so there is basically no way to bring the topic up and put guys on the spot. Guys don’t want to sign a petition for fear of losing their jobs. How do I convince people to stand up and management to listen?

First and foremost, Proper Protective Equipment isn’t made to be comfortable, its made to protect the wearer. They are always uncomfortable. I remember listening to a speaker on PPE, he hadn’t worn any and when the piping he worked on exploded he had burns all across his body. The best bet is to crack down hard, making clear repercussions for not using the gear. Although it may make you look mean, you are ultimately liable as the employer for the safety of your workers. The Management needs to know that they are held to this standard as well, if they cannot follow the policy, how can the junior employees? Its important to have an open atmosphere at work, so you should let your employees know that you value their input. Never punish the employee for discussing the implications of policy with you or supervisors, allow them to be open about it. However, while the policy is in effect, they should follow it.

Remember this: would you rather have workers who just say yes all the time, and tell you what you want to hear, even when your wrong, or would you like to have that guy who, abrasive though he may be, will tell you what you need to hear, and possibly save you big time?

Can somebody help me with finding companies that are recruiting for oil rigs jobs or addresses?

or direct link for oil rigs?

Dont bother… Because of the reduced oil prices, most projects have been suspended… Meaning, it is highly unlikely anyone is hiring right now for any exploration/extraction job..

anybody got any tips on finding a job on a oil rig in the uk/ireland?

admin — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 19:37:04 +0000

anybody no the best place to look or get one…

It very much depends on what skills you have to offer – the UK sector is shrinking and the days are long gone when anyone could just rock up and get a job as a roughneck or steward.

There are a few websites you can try:

Rigzone tends to be mainly US and worldwide http://www.rigzone.com/

Oilcareers is more general http://www.oilcareers.com/worldwide/

NDT cabin is specifically for inspection work http://www.ndtcabin.com/

Sodexho are one of the catering companies http://uk.sodexo.com/uken/careers/careers.asp

Unless you have a particular skill that a company really wants then you will have to have your survival and medical certificates, which are quite expensive. Sorry to be so negative but there really isn’t such a person as an ‘offshore worker’ – you need the skill that’s required and then apply it offshore.

Good luck and I might see you out here one day!
