We live in a world that provide us many kinds of jobs. But, what we do not know there are some jobs that are dangerous. In my opinion, drilling for oil and gas are dangerous. Why is it dangerous? These are the reasons why. The workers has a 12 hour work shift through out the day surrounded by flammable chemicals and substances. Accidents do not just happen on the road, but it also happen on the rig. Sometimes the accident can even cause a fire and these leads to continuous amount supply of water which is quite hard to transport to the rig. Furthermore, the rigs uses a lot of hazardous machine and equipment. These machines are operated in an unguarded area which is very dangerous to the workers who is exposed to the area. Next, workers are also exposed to falling down flat-faced on the rig. The workers are lack with super safety protection which can cause some injuries even death can happen to them. Last but not least, working in the oil rig has high chance of causing a major fire and explosion. This is because the rigs contain highly combustible chemicals and gas.
