The offshore oil and gas industry can be very dangerous there are very strict safety procedures to follow meaning that the amount of accidents which happen offshore are relatively small compared to many other industries.
Working on the North Sea can be incredible challenging. You may be faced with high winds, freezing temperatures, snow and rain. The most common types of injuries are falls, especially if the walkways, stairs and platforms are wet or icy. If you fall from height you may suffer a head injury, paralysis or even death.
You may also need to carry out work such as oil extraction. To do this job you need highly specialised equipment and knowledge. You must be provided with the proper safety equipment and trained to undertake the task properly. If you are injured due to faulty equipment or if you are not provided with the right training then you may be able to claim.
The location of oil rigs means that the only way to reach them is by helicopter. In the past, there have been a number of high profile helicopter incidents many of which have resulted in deaths. The weather conditions can make particularly difficult flying conditions. If you have suffered an injury caused by a helicopter incident or an injury while being transported to and from the oil rig by helicopter then you may be able to claim for compensation.
