The lads I know on the rigs in the north sea, last time I spoke to them did either 1 month on, 1 month off or 3 months on 1 month off.

Kenny ive worked in many classified areas and been to many orientations and you have the safety people watching you with binoculars and they are very strickbut I guess it’s for our own protection

I wouldn’t doubt that you have to where a safety harness when you go crap and tie off to the toilet. I’ve worked in many places where if they catch you violating safety policies you are immediately escorted off the property

Until about 3 years ago most of the British sector were 2 weeks on 3 weeks off. About 3 years ago there was a price crash and lots of places went 3 weeks on 3 weeks off. Things are slowly picking up and Rita’s improving to 3 on 4 off etc.
