Offshore workers need to be amateur investigators on the job

The last thing you need out on the supply boat or on the platform is to live in constant fear of an explosion or being crushed between the vessel and the piling in rough seas. It’s a dangerous enough world out there without being compounded by worry. Still, at a minimum you should train yourself to take mental notes of any questionable safety item or practice. Even better, as soon as you come across anything of the slightest concern, write down as many details in the notebook you carry in your front or back pocket. Put down direct quotes from the pertinent supervisor or co-worker, exact weather conditions, latitude and longitude, time and date and any pertinent details you can think of. If it’s an ongoing unresolved situation, keep a running log. Take pictures. Because if you ever need to take legal action, having a detailed story will work greatly in your favor.
