Along with practicing emergency exercises, an oil and gas platform regularly tests its emergency equipment. Today we see the helideck fire fighting equipment being tested.
Tannoy being given, to warn all personnel of cascading water and that fire pumps are about to start.
Technician remote starting pumps from different panels.
Today we meet, the small team involved in feeding and looking after all 80 workers, on a North Sea oil and gas platform.
These guys do a fantastic job, with such a small team in cleaning, preparing meals and trying to keep moral high for a large crew of guys. Who are working hard in all weathers, away from home for long periods, missing their families.
It is un-measurable their involvement, but any rig worker will tell you, that a clean accommodation and a good hearty meal, makes for a happy crew.
Roast beef, and Yorkshire puddings... must be Sunday!
