Offshore Oil & Gas Working Environment
1. Are the field engineers still happy with provided accommodation & food in the absence of leading to reduced quality of sleep and its associated fatigue?
In case, if they are distracted significantly, then, aren’t they at higher risk of being involved in accidents because of their ability to identify hazards becoming reduced?
2. Are they able to secure any time alone, particularly in living areas like cabins or gymnasium?

5. How about the effects of fatigue and long rosters on the levels of alertness?
6. Whether, time pressures on tasks (the perceived pressure to finish tasks) have really become a significant contributing factor in the causation of accidents, particularly, when production expectations remain high; or, following an unplanned shutdown?
To what extent, the role of lump sum contracts and the contractors that bid on them play a crucial role is such cases?
