Triad and CBH....link up a bredda nah.....

[pete]

all briefings that fly from piarco and camden says to switch off phones and no allowance for flight mode and you not suppose use cell phones in bhp,bp,bg,repsol platforms i doh know about the rest

Whut?..... take a 8

Like ya duz zone out in the briefing room or what?

AFAIK.. BP/Repsol/bhp(Production) - Personal electronic devices to be switched off around the aircraft and while in flight. Supposed to be declared upon arrival to the medic but usually they tell you to keep them in your room.

BG - No cellular phones at all. Personal elec devices off on the aircraft.

Same thing with flying in a plane, they say switch off phones but I've been on a plane with someone's phone ringing, they answer and nothing happens. Personally I prefer to obey the rules, no sense taking a crappy phone picture with a cell phone at the risk of getting reported.

[nemesis]

Little did I know that when people wanted to get rid of you for a while and told you to find the rig photographer that it was actually rookie they were talking about.

And I believe most places say to turn off your phone for the helicopter ride and while on the rig. Trinidad and otherwise.

[rookie]

@ Nemesis I think when they asking for guys to feed the dog on the platform you are first in line and probably still looking for sparky ! all i said am Tech that love his Nikon so is either u appreciate or move on, the rules of all them companies you calling doesn't apply to my operation!

Some say it was just a conspiracy to make people use the phones on the plane... but now Lufthansa and Emirates flights allow the use of mobiles. They also have their personal on flight network which you can use for roaming while on board. Both also provide WIFI for a small fee... that kinda supports my belief in the conspiracy.

Amm, calm down there. Iz just kix. And no, I never went looking for any dog, striped paint or anything of the sort. Nor have i ever been asked to really.
Besides, I did say good pics. And just like many others here I have heard them say the same thing in the briefings. Still, I know there are some people on the rig allowed to use the camera. I myself have been given permission on occasion to do so. Just relax yuhself nah.

[Val]

Repsol allows the phone to go offshore with you.

[nervewrecker]

Depends what field you are qualified for.

NMWG, Insertech, RBG, Score, Allied Caterers, Kenson.

I not sure, can I pm my resume and you advice me? I serious eh.

[Val]

Do you even have control of work training? UKOOA medical up to date, TBOSIET certification?

[pete]

Depending on the company they would send you to get your TBOSIET and UKOOA, and AFAIK only BG and BHP require UKOOA anyway.

Thing is that outside of working for the companies themselves, very few contractors would be outside for long periods of time on production platforms. Only scaffolders, painters, caterers and maybe kenson operators. Most other contractors just go out to complete one task and then come back on land or hop from one platform to the next.

[rookie]

tho but the guard realised the name he mentioned an took it anyway ........TUNERS currently i'm working at the piarco old terminal where i get to see these bristow choppers pickup and drop off rig workers everyday ... to my surprise i saw the exact same person i saw that day ,whom had no requirements they wanted ..in a Damus coverall ...i just watched him and laugh...cuz i just could'nt believe my eyes honestly .... smfh ...
