How dangerous is an offshore oil rig job?
My buddy just got a job down there 400 miles off the coast of Louisiana. He is an engineer and he is going to be working out this thing now for a job. It sounds like a decent living I mean then started him off with a great salary. His hours are kind o0f weird he gets 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off and he has to take a helicopter to work lol.
He said he can get me in there possible as a oil rig worker or as they call it a roust boat or something of the nature. I was wondering before I even consider it how dangerous this job really is? Like, do a lot of people die in this field? what happens if there is a hurricane? Do those things sink a lot? etc….These all are things that got me kind of iffy about the whole thing. Any and all information would be great help. Thanks everyone…
They work roust-abouts to death. As an engineer, your buddy is safe. Roust-abouts get hurt all the time. Don’t worry about hurricanes.

Pretty dangerous cuz if there’s a fire there’s no where to run.
